Blurb
"Drew Slocombe's reputation for unraveling mysteries is widespread, so when his wife's cousin Penn pays the family a visit, he isn't just catching up with long lost relatives. Penn wants Drew's help to find another of his cousins, Justine. Justine and her mother, Roma, have not spoken for five years, and Roma is unconcerned about her daughter's disappearance. Drew undertakes the investigation unenthusiastically, but after an encounter with Detective Sergeant Den Cooper and the realization that a small child is missing, the case becomes a matter of urgency for all involved."--BOOK JACKET.

Guilt in the Cotswolds
Let the Bells Ring
Another quiet British family story where domestic tensions drive the plot, though this one leans on wartime romance rather than a missing-person puzzle.
Keep the Home Fires Burning
Shares the seed's focus on tangled family loyalties and a vulnerable child, but the threat comes from jealousy and grief instead of a criminal investigation.
A whiff of scandal
Same nosy English village where gossip drives everything, but the puzzle here is romantic scandal rather than a missing woman, and much lighter.
All You Need is Love
Keeps the low-heat, family-centred British setting, but swaps sleuthing and a missing woman for a warm, upbeat single-mum romance.
