An Accidental Murder: A Yellow Cottage Cosy Mystery Book 1 (The Yellow Cottage Cosy Mysteries)

Young widow, Isobella Bridges discovered and fell in love with The Yellow Cottage as a child. Many years later she returned to the Island, discovered it was for sale and bought it on a whim. Or so she thought.

She had no idea at the time how much it would change her life, nor that it was yet to reveal all it’s secrets. Ones that even Ella couldn't imagine.

She purchased the cottage from an old lady, but this was no ordinary old lady. And she left her cat, but this was no ordinary cat.

Ella soon realises that this isn't the only gift the old lady left.

Having only been in residence a few short weeks, and still unpacking boxes, she receives a telephone call from her brother, inviting her up to London for Sunday lunch.

This call sets in motion a series of events that puts Ella’s life, and those of the people closest to her in danger.

*Revised new edition May 2015*

*Please note this is a novella of around 25,000 words.*
