The Maid of Kent Murders
By Amy Myers
The Maid of Kent pub sits in the village of Cobshaw and at the centre of controversy.
The current owner needs to sell, but will only let it go to descendants of the Plantagenets.
Hotelier Howard Greene wants to add the property to his empire, and is claiming Plantagenet blood. But is he really descended from the kings who once ruled England?
Local historian Brenda Randall would be the one to ask. She knows everything there is to know about Cobshaw and its inhabitants, including the history of the actual maid of Kent, Cecilia. But Brenda also has plans for the pub — the building that was once her ancestral home.
Amid this property war, a windstorm uncovers a burial site and Marsh and Daughter, the local sleuths, have a new mystery to solve. Who was buried under the old copper beech? And how is it connected to the endless fighting between the Plantagenets and the Tudors in the picture-perfect village of Cobshaw?
