Book description
Despite the catastrophic outcomes of her previous house-sitting
commissions, Thea Osborne, accompanied by her trusty spaniel,
Hepzie, is truly convinced nothing can go wrong on her next
assignment in the charming village of Blockley. The Montgomerys have
asked her to look after their house while they take a much needed holiday.
But trouble seems to follow Thea and when a body is discovered in
the house next door, she finds herself in the midst of village secrets.
From mystical local legends to celebrity sightings, the erstwhile
quiet area turns out to be a place of mysterious contradictions -
with very sinister undertones.
Rebecca Tope lives on a smallholding in Herefordshire, with a full
complement of livestock, but manages to travel the world and enjoy
civilisation from time to time as well. Most of her varied experiences
and activities find their way into her books, sooner or later. Her own
cocker spaniel, Beulah, is the model for Hepzibah, but is
unfortunately ageing much more rapidly.
