Somerset Mysteries - The Haunted Cottage

Retired schoolteacher Elizabeth Bilbrough insists her house is haunted. But no one believes the elderly woman. Instead, they think she’s losing her mind and urge her to move into a care home. In desperation, she turns to her friend, Rufus Whalley, who is only too eager to help. He passes on the strange events to June and Pomona.

Are there really ghosts in Miss Bilbrough’s cosy little home, or is someone playing a particularly nasty trick on her? Together, the three amateur sleuths are determined to ferret out the truth and soon find themselves caught up in a rather dark scheme ...

About the series: Wondrous gardens, stunning countryside and mystical places are the crowning glories of Somerset. When young Londoner June inherits her aunt’s idyllic cottage and bookshop, she is taken by the county's charms and sees the perfect chance for a fresh start. But even in this peaceful corner of southern England, dark secrets lie hidden beneath the surface and murderous crimes crop up... Fortunately, June isn’t alone. Always ready to help are her new friends, Pomona, with her love of tarot cards and all things mystical, and the knowledgeable antiquarian, Rufus Whalley. And then there’s the rather attractive Detective Sergeant Sean Darcy, whose involvement in the cases soon becomes more than just professional.
