Murder at Tilly Cottage
(2025)(The third book in the Wimplebrige Village series)
A novel by William Hadley
Murder at Tilly Cottage
A Wimplebridge Village Mystery
When Ruth Faulkner's landlord discovered the middle-aged nurse's body, he uncovered more than just a murder victim - he stumbled upon a life built on carefully guarded secrets and lies.
Detective Inspector Halt from Warwickshire Police is tasked to investigate, but his trademark Yorkshire bluntness and zero tolerance for village politics does not endear him to the residents of Wimplebridge. It's down to Claudilia Belcher - local landowner, sharp-tongued farmer, and relentless truth-seeker to uncover Ruth’s past. What she finds is a history closely tied to Oxford’s criminal underworld. It’s a web of lies that stretches back generations.
Joined by Angus Mackintosh, and the victim’s unconventional stepbrother, Claudilia digs into the life of Ruth Faulkner, and uncovers a dangerous trail of drug dealing and police corruption.
Murder at Tilly Cottage is a wickedly atmospheric mystery. It is the third book in the Wimplebridge series and proves the most dangerous secrets are the ones hidden in plain sight.
Genre: Mystery
