The Lifeline by Margaret Mayhew
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

When Lady Ursula Swynford dies her, her daughter, Ruth takes over the manor in Frog End and provides gardening therapy for her husband Dr Tom Harvey's patients. When a body is discovered in a greenhouse the Colonel is asked to investigate due to the lack of confidence in the local police.
A very slow paced story which takes the first half of the book to set up the characters and their history, and the plot. Though not the first in the series it can easily be read as a standalone story. Although mention is made of previous murders no clues thankfully are given as to who the guilty parties were.
A modern, pleasant story of village life with the hint of mystery and murder i.e. a cozy mystery.
