Description

From Martha Waters, the author of the enchanting (Entertainment Weekly) Regency Vows series, a new historical romance set in 1930s England with a murder mystery twist.

In a quaint village in the Cotswolds, Georgiana Radcliffe has accidentally become an amateur detective after helping solve four murders in a single year. When the chairman of the village council turns up dead, everyone agrees with the official ruling of a heart attack, but Georgie cant help but suspect that the council chairman is a fifth victim. Now, murder tourists are flocking from around the country, in hopes of becoming sleuths themselves.

Along with her reporter friend, she reaches out to a famous London detective for assistance in ascertaining why they have become a magnet for murder. But the fancy detective is simply too busyor cant be botheredto help, and instead dispatches his secretary, Sebastian Fletcher-Forda posh womanizer who, truthfully, is just trying to get out of his hair, much to practical, no-nonsense Georgies dismay. But as they investigate in the charming Buncombe-upon-Woollywith plentiful scones, sheep on the village green, and murder tourists at every turnGeorgie finds that her previous assessment of Sebastian may have been wrong, and rather than solving a murder, she may be solving for love instead.

Reviews

A romance/historical mystery mashup featuring grumpy, whipsmart heroine and a foppish, charming hero set in the Cotswolds Somehow Martha fit all of my favorite things into And Then There Was The One. The writing and humor feel both timeless and refreshingly modern, and I enjoyed every moment I got to spend hunting for clues with these delightful characters (especially Egg the beagle). I can't wait to shout about this one to everyone who will listen!
Sarah Adler, USA Today bestselling author of Finders Keepers

"And Then There Was The Onecharmed me from the moment I picked it up! Equal parts sparkling romance and delightfully cozy mystery, this book was a treat from start to finish. Martha Waters is at the top of her game!"
Jilly Gagnon, author of What If It's You
