IN THIS GREAT-VALUE
Book 1: HIDDEN IN THE HEART Forced from London society, spirited Lydia Bramwell arrives in the sleepy village of Diddlington expecting boredom — not murder. When a young woman is found dead in the woods, Lydia’s curiosity draws her into an intriguing mystery involving smugglers, secrets, and a dangerously charming (and infuriating) gentleman named John Savidge.
Book 2: THE UNFORGIVING EYE When spirited newlyweds Lydia and John Savidge stop at Fallowfield House to deliver a simple birthday gift, they expect polite conversation and a cup of tea — not a corpse, a pistol, and a murder accusation. With a man’s life at stake and the household steeped in secrets, it becomes clear that more than one resident has something to hide — and someone would kill to keep their secrets buried.
Book 3: THE WHISPERING TONGUES Anthea Halliwell’s life has been shaped by whispers and scandal. When a sudden proposal from the enigmatic Gideon Rodrigo offers her a chance at respectability, she seizes it — but the past won’t stay buried. Now it’s up to Lydia and John Savidge to help uncover the truth behind a long-unsolved crime, before the shadows of suspicion close in again.

I loved these stories so much, that if the book were available in paper I'd consider adding it to my permanent library. The villains are dastardly and unrepentant. The young sleuths are both brave and clever, and their witty banter is a joy to read. Highly recommended.
This series what cute and fun. A tad slow in places. Although, the 3rd book, definitely the best one of the three. If your wanting a semi-cozy read with a bit of danger, this is for you.
