Thea Osborne's relations.h.i.+p with DI Phil Hollis is going from strength to strength. The couple retreat to a cottage in Cold Aston, where they look forward to some peace and quiet. Preparations for Samhain, the pagan origin of Halloween, are well underway when a very tangible reminder of the season of death is discovered: a body laid out like a sacrificial victim on Notgrove Barrow. It soon becomes apparent that the cosy village has more than its share of secrets. But just how far will some go to keep them hidden?
BLOOD IN THE COTSWOLDS.

Thea Osborne has taken on another house-sitting a.s.signment, this time in the quiet village of Temple Guiting. Detective Superintendent Phil Hollis is looking forward to visiting, but a bad back soon puts an end to their romantic weekend. A few days into their stay, human bones are discovered in the base of an uprooted tree. With no evidence as to the ident.i.ty of the body, wild theories and rumours abound. Thea and Phil find there is a strong connection to the Knights Templar in the village, but could that have any bearing on the case?
SLAUGHTER IN THE COTSWOLDS.
[image]
Thea Osbourne has just lost her beloved father and retreats to her next housesitting a.s.signment in Lower Slaughter, hoping to find the peace and quiet needed to deal with her grief.
When Thea's bossy elder sister turns up on her doorstep after witnessing a horrific killing, the rural serenity descends into a web of mutual suspicions, accusations and confrontations.
As usual, investigating a murder while being a responsible housesitter proves to be no easy task, especially when you've got a dog-killer and a temperamental parrot on your hands...
FEAR IN THE COTSWOLDS.
[image]
Following a string of disastrous house-sitting a.s.signments, Thea Osborne is understandably apprehensive about her latest commission: a wintery month in an isolated farmhouse in the beautiful hamlet of Hampnett, with only an a.s.sortment of animals, including her loyal spaniel Hepzie, for company.
When Thea stumbles across a man lying dead in a snow-filled field, she is once again at the heart of a mystery in the gorgeous Cotswold countryside.
A GRAVE IN THE COTSWOLDS.
[image]
When Drew Slocombe, the local undertaker at Broad Campden, is accused of murder, Thea Osborne becomes his unlikely friend and defender.
As they come to know more about the inhabitants of Broad Campden, Drew and Thea begin to unearth the secrets, conflicts and tensions that simmer below the surface of village life, together playing amateur detective to find the killer, and to clear Drew's name.
