The manor was condemned. The records were sealed. The past was supposed to stay buried.
When a quiet delivery arrives at Crumblewell's Delights, Olivia Crumblewell expects nothing more troubling than another supplier mix-up. Instead, she finds herself holding a box of old papers tied with string - documents that point to Larchwood Manor, a long-abandoned house overlooking the sea.
What begins as curiosity quickly becomes something far more unsettling.
Missing annexes. Altered council ledgers. A death that was never properly explained.
As Olivia and her steadfast friend Beatrice begin to untangle the threads, it becomes clear that Larchwood's secrets are not simply historical. They are protected - carefully, deliberately - by people who would prefer certain questions never be asked.
With Detective Inspector Davies balancing official procedure against his growing trust in Olivia's instincts, the investigation moves from archive rooms to windswept cliffs, from parish records to private loyalties.
But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes:
Someone buried more than paperwork at Larchwood Manor.
And the truth is closer to home than anyone expected.
Warm, atmospheric, and intricately layered, The Secret of Larchwood Manor is the second novel in the Olivia Crumblewell Mysteries - a British seaside cosy mystery series where butter and lemon zest sit alongside long memories and quiet reckonings.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
- Village mysteries with depth
- Amateur sleuths with sharp instincts
- Subtle romantic tension
- Secrets that refuse to stay buried
In Seabrook, nothing is ever truly forgotten.
