Preorder the start in a BRAND NEW cosy mystery series from Debbie Young

When Alice Carroll steps into Curiosity Cottage, a picture-perfect former bric-a-brac shop in the Cotswold Village of Little Pride, she thinks she's found the perfect place to start the new phase of her life. Freshly separated from her collector long-term boyfriend, she's excited to embrace her new, minimalist existence.

All Alice needs to do is sell off the left-behind stock, and settle in. But the villagers of Little Pride have other ideas, and Alice quickly realises they won't give up their beloved shop without a fight.

Then a dead body is found buried in her neighbour's compost heap, and Alice realises there's much more to Little Pride, and its residents, than meets the eye.
