Murder in the Bluebell Woods
(2023)(The second book in the Wootton Windmill Mystery series)
A novel by Izzie Harper
A death at a village wedding. A stolen bow and arrow. Three women sleuths.
Spring has arrived in Lower Wootton and Ellie Blix's cleaning customers have started cancelling. Then, at a wedding at the old folly in the woods, she finds her friend Tracy's husband dead, an arrow in his back.
All the evidence points to Tracy. Distraught, she asks Ellie to find out what happened and clear her name. But now that Ellie is finally back on cordial terms with her detective inspector ex-husband, she must decide if she is prepared to jeopardise their relationship by sleuthing again.
When Ellie learns that two trusted locals have been acting suspiciously, she cannot rest. The Blix women – mother, daughter and mother-in-law – vow to find the murderer before tragedy strikes again.
Then Ellie receives a death threat and it’s clear that her sleuthing could cost her everything.
