Meet the author
Hazel Ashcombe writes cozy mysteries for readers who enjoy noticing the small detail that changes everything. Set among English villages and country houses, her Tinderbrook stories bring together warm relationships, village humour and mysteries that invite readers to make their own case.
The Tinderbrook Case Files begin with The Case of the Twice-Returned Rabbit, a village whodunit set in 1927. Toymaker Clem Pennywhistle and her granddaughter Nell investigate a death at the Reading Room, where two seemingly identical toy rabbits may hold the key to what really happened.
Hazel also creates mysteries to solve together. Murder at Tinderbrook Hall turns December evenings into a shared investigation, with Family and Sleuth puzzles from December 1 to 23 and a verdict on Christmas Eve.
