The Last Gift (Kindle eBook)

Christmas has arrived in Oakridge, the coffee is flowing, the decorations are up, and somebody is determined to keep the past buried.

Life has finally settled for Maya Thorne. She’s moved in with Detective Inspector Miller, Phil Higgins is spending suspicious amounts of time at The Rolling Scones, and the village has enjoyed a whole year without murder. Then Julian Vane hosts a Christmas party at Oakridge Manor, and before the evening is over, he’s dead.

The police believe it was suicide, but something doesn’t feel right.

When a box of old documents connected to Arthur Hodge and Oakridge’s hidden past lands in Maya’s hands, she finds herself drawn into another mystery. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes that some secrets have been protected for generations, and somebody is willing to kill to keep them hidden.

Perfect for readers who love cosy mysteries filled with village gossip, festive charm, slow-burn romance, eccentric characters, and long-buried secrets.
