Lake District Cottages and Corpses: A Dual-Timeline Mystery (The Homeswappers)

When a WWII mystery resurfaces in Beatrix Potter’s village, two lives collide in a warm, twisty tale of murder… and second chances! 2024 Frida returns to England's breathtaking Lake District after her grandmother Elsa's death, only to discover a hidden memoir revealing her grandmother's harrowing journey on the Kindertransport during WWII. As a twelve-year-old refugee fleeing Nazi Germany, Elsa found unexpected sanctuary in Near Sawrey, a quiet Cumbrian village, best known as the home of Beatrix Potter. But when Frida stumbles upon a long-forgotten corpse in a secret passageway, the peaceful lakeside village reveals its sinister side. Why does her path keep crossing that of an attractive academic? And how are this man, a mysterious inn and a menacing stranger, all connected to both the decades-old body and a present-day conspiracy with roots in dark wartime secrets? With her own life unravelling, Frida joins forces with home-swapping sleuths Etta and Dora and their faithful Basset Hound Leon.
