A novel by Adriana Licio
When a WWII mystery resurfaces in Beatrix Potter’s village, two lives collide in a warm, twisty tale of murder… and second chances!
2024Frida returns to England's breathtaking Lake District after her grandmother Elsa's death, only to discover a hidden memoir revealing her grandmother's harrowing journey on the Kindertransport during WWII.
1939
As a twelve-year-old refugee fleeing Nazi Germany, Elsa found unexpected sanctuary in Near Sawrey, a quiet Cumbrian village, best known as the home of Beatrix Potter.
2024
But when Frida stumbles upon a long-forgotten corpse in a secret passageway, the peaceful lakeside village reveals its sinister side. Why does her path keep crossing that of an attractive academic? And how are this man, a mysterious inn and a menacing stranger, all connected to both the decades-old body and a present-day conspiracy with roots in dark wartime secrets?
With her own life unravelling, Frida joins forces with home-swapping sleuths Etta and Dora and their faithful Basset Hound Leon. Together, they race to decode Elsa's memoir before a shadowy organization with ties to Nazi sympathizers silences them permanently.
In this dual-timeline mystery, the echoes of WWII reverberate into a present-day plot so diabolical it could rewrite history itself. Will they uncover the truth before becoming the next victims?
*** Cosy fans, pull on your hiking boots, grab those walking poles, and let’s stride off into the ancient secrets of the Lake District fells…***
