Professional football was Ty Harding's life. Injury and age ended it. Now what? Returning to the family ranch after two decades to decide his future, he finds it in crisis. His mother needs help, and Ty's ranching skills are rusty. His only recourse is his high school sweetheart, who runs the adjoining property. Georgia Caldwell manages her thriving spread and competes in team cattle penning. She has little room for anything more, especially an injured football hero. She only agrees to give Ty Harding a crash course in Ranching 101 because of what they once had. Ty is captivated by the strong woman Georgia has become. Is her busy life the reason she keeps her distance from him, or is it something else? Could whatever she is hiding keep them apart, or can Ty become the man Georgia needs for them to rekindle what they once had?

Antiques dealer Monaghan Wilkes has made many enemies in the village of Sixpenny Cross and its surroundings. When he is found dead beside the pond in a local meadow, no one is surprised. Popular opinion targets Monaghan's long-suffering business partner, Colin Jones, as the murderer. But retiree Winnie Hatherall, a sprightly woman who has lived in the village all her life, is unconvinced. Detective Inspector Anthony Wallace has an unexpected history with Winnie. He does not like her poking her nose into his case, a sentiment she reciprocates, but he cannot ignore her exceptional talent for knowing what lies behind her neighbours' lace curtains. The gentle pace of village life is shattered as Winnie reveals one secret after another. Will her investigation reveal the murderer, or will it lead her into the path of potential danger, making her the next victim? Editorial Review by JL CartwrightA Murder in the Meadow was like a trip down memory lane for me, taking me back to the days when I devoured every Agatha Christie and PD James I could get my hands on. I loved those books, and reading Ms. Chatham's A Murder in the Meadows with the wonderful interplay between the sisters and DI Anthony Wallace and his new protégé DS Rachel Evans was just such a treat.This is a book that any fan of really good British mysteries is absolutely going to want to add to their library. Wonderful read. Thank you Victoria Chatham. I can't wait for the next in this terrific new series
