Summer, 1914.

Change is coming as swiftly as the seasons themselves. And the catalyst is the arrival of Aunt Tilly...

Preparations for the wedding of the Rector’s eldest daughter, Isobel Lilley, are well underway. The Rectory larders are full to the brim. The bridesmaids’ dresses fitted and pressed. The bridal gown allotted a room of its own. The only thing missing is Aunt Tilly.

But little does the Lilley family know, the arrival of Aunt Tilly will spark a chain of events that threatens to tear the village of Ashden apart.

When the dark clouds of war reach Ashden, Isobel and her sisters face daunting personal and social changes. Women of all classes are called upon to rise to the challenges of war and the Lilley family find themselves facing a new world that brings both tragedy and newfound freedom.

The whole village comes together in the face of adversity, but Aunt Tilly takes it one step too far, putting the stability of the Rectory in jeopardy.

Can the Lilley family survive Aunt Tilly’s visit and the outbreak of war?

 I enjoy writing crime novels and historical fiction, although I now concentrate on the crime novels. Currently living in southern England, I'm British and married an American. For many years I worked in publishing, then leapt over the fence to tackle the novels I'd always dreamed of writing. The crime novels I write are varied and all of them fall roughly into the Agatha Christie field with a mystery at their heart and a sleuth to solve it. Some series are set in the past, like those starring my 1920s chef Nell Drury, my Victorian chef Auguste Didier and my Victorian chimney sweep Tom Wasp. Now, however, i concentrate on the present day, such as in the classic car sleuth Jack Colby series. My Marsh and Daughter series is also set in the present day although they specialise in solving mysteries from the past. I am currently working on a series starring Cara Shelley who works at the stately home of Tanton Towers and it too is set in the present day. Present or past, they'd all like to meet you!
