SYNOPSIS
SYNOPSIS
A lifetime of memories, an old oak tree, and a dead body.
Eliza Thomson Investigates…
August 1901: A garden party at Oak House is the perfect way to bring the villagers of Moreton-on-Thames together. It’s also an excellent chance for Eliza Thomson to snoop around her old home.
Being told to stay outdoors wasn’t going to stop her and best friend, Connie, from taking a look inside, but when the master of the house is found murdered, they have some explaining to do…
The victim's family have their own ideas about the killer. But who had the most to gain from the death?
In a world where secrets and lies are the norm, someone is playing games. Unfortunately for them, they haven’t bargained on Eliza’s memories from her childhood … or her determination to find whodunit…
A garden party at my old family home seemed like the perfect opportunity to revisit the past.
But when the master of the house turns up dead, the celebration comes to a screeching halt.
With the victim’s family pointing fingers in every direction, it’s up to me to untangle the lies—and uncover what really happened beneath that old oak tree.
If you like Miss Marple-style murder mysteries and historical women with attitude, you’ll love this historical British series.

Chapter One Look Inside
Chapter One Look Inside
For the umpteenth time that afternoon, Eliza Thomson pulled back the dining-room curtains and peered down the street. The village was quiet thanks to the sun blazing from an unclouded sky, but finally the familiar horse-drawn carriage came into view. About time too. Stepping back into the coolness of the room she allowed the curtains to fall into place before hurrying to the front door to find her father waving to her.
“I was beginning to wonder where you’d got to.” Eliza wore a broad smile as she opened her arms to embrace the tall, slender man approaching.
“You can’t rush in this weather,” Mr Bell said. “The poor horses are exhausted as it is. I presume there’s water around the back?”
Eliza nodded and directed the coach driver to the stabling behind the surgery. “You must be exhausted too.” She linked her father’s arm and ushered him into the house. “Why didn’t you come on the train?”
“I’d need to catch too many trains to get from Richmond to here. It would have taken me hours. Why you had to leave London I don’t know.”
“Yes you do and you’re well aware why we came here. Aren’t you pleased to be back in Moreton-on-Thames?”
Mr Bell grimaced. “I’ll tell you this time next week.”
