Catherine is a Thame Town Councillor, but, in answer to the question on everyone’s lips; Catherine insists that ‘Little Woodford’, the events and the characters in the book, are purely fictitious and bear no resemblance whatsoever to anything or anyone in Thame. But what’s the betting they’ll  be a queue of curious locals, waiting to buy the book to discover for themselves whether that’s the case or not!

Synopsis

Trouble comes to the sleepy market town of Little Woodford – a world of allotments, pub quizzes, shopping and gossip – the heart of middle England.

Little Woodford has a sleepy high street, a weekly market, a weathered old stone church and lovingly tended allotments. A peaceful, unexciting place, the very heart of middle England.

In Little Woodford no one has fingers in more pies than Olivia Laithwaite, parish councillor, stalwart of the local WI, wife, mother and all round Queen Bee. So of course it’s Olivia who is first to spot that The Beeches has been sold at last.

Soon rumours begin to swirl around the young widow who has bought this lovely house. Why exactly did she leave London with her beautiful stepdaughter and young sons? Are they running from someone? Hiding something? Though if they are, they won’t be the only ones. Sometimes the arrival of newcomers in a community is all it takes to light a fuse…
