Suddenly While Gardening

Vacations are cut short by murder for Pollard & Toye! Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, M C Beaton, Sophie Hannah and Faith Martin.

Expect the unexpected...

Detective Chief Superintendent Pollard of New Scotland Yard visits a sleepy village in the English countryside for what he thinks will be a quiet holiday.

But his plans are ruined when some hikers discover a very modern skeleton in an ancient Celtic gravesite.

At first the local authorities think the skeleton is a gruesome practical joke, but when the evidence points to murder, they ask Pollard to take charge of the investigation.

He calls in his partner Detective Inspector Toye to help.

But with increasingly uncooperative locals hindering the investigation it is clear someone has something sinister to hide...

Suddenly While Gardening is the tenth cosy village mystery in the Pollard & Toye crime series: an intriguing police procedural set in rural England.
