When Flora, one of the ladies in the Lowenna Knitting Circle,
dies suddenly it puts everyone on edge. The woman the Circle refers to as The Mouse, surely didn’t have any
enemies, but is there more to Flora than meets the eye? And why are women who
wear a mermaid pendant suddenly in danger? Gia can never miss an opportunity to
uncover a mystery, but she has much more to contend with - her pregnancy, and
the possibility of neighboring shops to Lowenna Antiques closing. And then there’s a newcomer who gathers
bouquets of flowers – some of which are known to kill!
Gwinnel Gardens, the third cozy mystery in the Lowenna series is now available on Amazon.
It wasn’t unusual for
retirees in Lowenna to succumb to death during the winter months in Lowenna,
but while Gia and her friend, Holly, worked on restoring the overgrown Gwinnel
Gardens, they noticed there were an increasing number of services at the crematorium
in the valley. After hearing the President of Gwinnel Gardens had died
unexpectedly, Gia dug in her heels and decided to investigate. After all, this
was a great way to avoid plans for her upcoming wedding in which everyone seemed
to have an idea of what she should wear. But unless she found out quickly who
was behind the sudden deaths would someone close to Gia be the next victim?
Opening to the first page of Gwinnel Gardens is like sitting
down to tea with old friends you'd missed seeing for a while.
Set in the charming Cornish village of Lowenna, Ann Summerville's latest book
in the Lowenna Series, reintroduces our favorite characters--Gia, Holly, Susan
and Rose--whom we first met in Storms and Secrets and High Tide.
This time, Gia is busy planning her upcoming wedding, but becomes increasingly
concerned by the number of local retirees who are dying and being transported
to the local crematorium. Soon she is once again investigating what she
perceives as criminal activity and this time focuses on some of the very people
one would expect to protect rather than endanger the lives of the villagers.
For anyone new to this series, let me recommend Ann Summerville as one of the
most talented and creative writers of cozy mysteries.
High Tide, the next book in the Lowenna Series, was sent for final editing today and while discarding my spam e-mails, I came across a September e-mail I had overlooked from a blogging friend at Letters from Hill Farm. Thank you Nan for a delightful post. You can read Nan's review of a Graceful Death here. It's always lovely to find that a reader enjoyed one of my books.
