Burying the Past, The Fran Harman Mysteries

In this mystery, British Detective Fran Harman’s professional and private lives collide when a skeleton is unearthed in her garden.

Det. Chief Inspector Fran Harman and her fiancé, Asst. Chief Constable Mark Turner, have their hands full preparing for their wedding and renovating the rectory that will be their new home. But all their plans for wedded bliss are put on hold with the discovery of a skeleton buried in the vegetable patch.

As investigations into the identity of the deceased progress, Fran and Mark realize that they have more to contend with than a dead body. It seems that Mark’s two grown-up children are less than thrilled for their father’s forthcoming nuptials. In fact, at least one of them seems to be behaving very strangely indeed . . .

With so many obstacles in their way, Fran and Mark will have to draw on all their crime solving skills if they ever want to make it down the aisle.
