Murder at Badger Brook
(2025)(The eighth book in the Wootton Windmill Mystery series)
A novel by Izzie Harper
Will Ellie’s need for answers be her downfall?
Winter is receding in Lower Wootton and the snowdrops are out. Ellie Blix is relieved her daughter’s job is settling down, so it’s a shock for everyone when Zoe finds a dead body in the treehouse at Badger Brook, while she’s rescuing an animal.
Village rumours suggest he’s the homeless man that's been stealing from the corner shop, and lurking around people’s barns. Ellie quickly discovers the dead man was a once-wealthy aristocrat, Marcus Davenport, who went missing after a mysterious hiking accident ten years ago.
But if he was alive until recently, how could his death have been registered a few years after his disappearance?
With no shortage of suspects, Ellie must sift through petty rivalries, ghosts from her own past and village gossip to get to the truth... and find out how a man who was supposed to be dead, has just been killed.
