Death Takes a Fall: A Cotswold Crimes Mystery

When Maddie McGuire finds herself tumbling over a cliff while hiking The Cotswold Way, she uncovers much more than ancient woods. Terrified by her shocking discovery, she returns to the safety of her international internship at the Roman Baths only to find competition in the form of the tittering, aristocratic Gwendolyn De Valence, who has captured the attention of everyone Maddie hopes to impress. Turning to her boyfriend Constable Edward Bailey, only reveals dark secrets about his past, leading her down a dangerous path which, this time, she may be unable to escape.

Praise for Death Takes a Fall:

"An intriguing, well-paced cozy mystery with a light touch and an enjoyable cast." - KIRKUS REVIEWS (Full review here.)

"Well-paced and brimming with heart, intelligence, and intricately crafted misdirection, DEATH TAKES A FALL is packed with pulse-pounding twists and heart-stopping turns. Be prepared to stay up late with this fully immersive mystery because it pulls you in and doesn't let go." —LAURIE BUCHANAN, author of the Sean McPherson crime thriller novels

“This fabulous second installment in A Cotswold Crimes Mystery series firmly establishes these books as must-read mysteries. American student Maddie McGuire is a quirky amateur sleuth who you can’t help but love as she stumbles (literally) into a horrible criminal ring and puts herself (unwittingly) in mortal danger. The author skillfully builds the sinister plot against the backdrop of the seemingly idyllic setting of Bath, England accompanied by a brilliant cast of characters. Villains are hidden in plain sight, sending the reader on a marvelous twisting, turning jaunt as the culprits and their motives are unveiled. A charming, witty, and terrifyingly delightful mystery!” – Valerie Biel, author of the The Circle of Nine series
