The Woodstock Mysteries Ladybird Ladybird, Book 3, (Paperback)

<i><b>A young widow is found dead in a burning glove workshop. The police call it arson. Two unlikely detectives know that is only half the story. </b></i> <p>When a workshop on the lane to Bladon goes up in the September dusk, a toddler is pulled alive from the smoke. Her mother, glovress Nora Kinlan, is not. </p><p>The case draws Hester Croft, sharp-tongued, formidable, and the only person in town inclined to mistrust a story everyone has agreed is true, and Gertie Bundle, landlady of the Old Pyed Bull, into their third investigation together. </p><p>Inspector Wallace of the Oxfordshire CID arrests the workshop's owner before the embers are out. Hester does not agree. Nora was a quiet woman. A widow with a small daughter, a clean cottage, and the sort of secret that does not stay clean for long. </p><p>As Hester and Gertie pull at the threads Nora left behind, the small Oxfordshire market town shows them what it has chosen, since the war, not to remember. </p><p><i>Ladybird Ladybird is the third Woodstock Mystery - a clever, character-driven whodunnit perfect for fans of classic English cosy crime.</i></p>
