The Bones in the Orchard by Patricia Rice
Award-winning author Patricia Rice brings you another light-hearted Regency romantic mystery set in Wycliffe Manor... At Gravesyde Priory, each new arrival is either a blessing—or a threat. . . Wycliffe Manor has been neglected for decades. Its new heirs are determined to create a welcoming home. Yet soon after the latest family moves into the nearby parsonage, bones are uncovered in the orchard. . . and odd strangers arrive. When her curate father returns his family to Gravesyde for the marriages of the manor’s heirs, gawky spinster Patience Upton has high expectations—until her father is murdered. Shock at learning her father had a mysterious past, leads to alarm that the killer may have been after his notebook, which she now possesses. After the chapel is ransacked and a witness killed, it’s clear the murderer isn’t done. Desperate to find the truth, Patience accepts the aid of Henri Lavigne, Wycliffe Manor’s smooth-talking rake. Intent on saving his new home and family from danger, Henri is drawn to the clergyman’s guileless daughter but wonders if she hasn’t reason to conceal the killer’s identity. Before there will be any courting, much less marrying, the inhabitants of the manor realize if they want a chance at a future, they must hunt the killer themselves. But are they hunting one murderer. . . or more?GRAVESYDE PRIORY MYSTERY BOOKSBook #1 The Secrets of Wycliffe ManorBook #2 The Mystery of the Missing HeiressBook #3 The Bones in the Orchard
