Rotten to the Marrow

The rural village of Heathervale has everything Arrina Fenn wants – a cozy cottage, a cake-filled café, and a cute silver kitten to curl up with. A dead body is not part of her plans. When fingers point in her direction, hard-working Arrina Fenn must find the real killer before she loses her home, her position and the cozy life she dreams of in this idyllic English village. This is the prequel novella of The Heathervale Mysteries, with more twists than a country lane and a cast of cozy characters you’ll be right at home with.

The Slay of the Land
2019
Tractors, tea and trouble in an English country village… Hard-nosed Arrina Fenn can deal with the local gossips, petty vandals and even runaway tractors in Heathervale village. They’re easy to overcome with a cup of tea in one hand and a delicious cake from her best friend’s café in the other. But when a dead body crops up in the middle of the busy college she runs—getting it shut down and her shut out of the investigation—life doesn’t taste quite so sweet. Determined to solve the murder before both she and the college are exiled from the village, Arrina swaps her smart suits for hiking boots and sets out to uncover just what’s going on. This is book one of The Heathervale Mysteries, with more twists than a country lane and a cast of cozy characters you'll be right at home with.

Dying over Spilled Milk
2019
When dairy farming turns deadly, spilled milk just might be worth crying over. Head-teacher Arrina Fenn is determined to make her sixth form college’s first Careers Fair go off without a hitch. In the rural village of Heathervale, with its small-town secrets and family squabbles that line the streets as thickly as crops in the fields, that’s not as easy as it seems. When one of the fair’s staff members turns up dead, Arrina’s hopes for success are dashed to pieces, and Arrina is once again dragged into the investigation. With the wrong person heading to trial, growing tensions in the village, and something increasingly strange going on with the young people of Heathervale, Arrina must race to find out what really happened on the day of the Careers Fair, before it’s too late. This is book two of The Heathervale Mysteries, with more twists than a country lane and a cast of cozy characters you'll be right at home with.

The Scream of the Crop
2022
Life isn’t always sweet in a rural English summer… Arrina Fenn takes hard work in her hiking-booted stride, organising festival stalls and birthday celebrations with a smile. Her hot summer holidays pass particularly sweetly with a side of rhubarb wine and her best friend’s bakes. But when a dead body shows up in the home of Heathervale’s own Boo Radley, Grandma Morgan, summer fun withers on the vine. Certain the police have the wrong suspect, Arrina digs in and decides to get to the root of the issue. Can she weed out the answers before it’s too late? This clean read is book five of The Heathervale Mysteries. Enjoy it as a standalone or read in series order for more twists than a country lane and a cast of cosy characters you'll be right at home with.
