Books like Faithful unto Death by Caroline Graham
Simone Hollingsworth, a well‑known but unremarkable volunteer in Fawcett Green, fails to attend a routine bell‑ringing practice. While fellow villagers take her absence in stride, her husband Alan behaves oddly—slamming doors, burying items in the sun‑baked garden, and keeping the curtains drawn. The attentive Brockleys suspect something more sinister, yet the true reason for Simone’s disappearance remains concealed. Chief Inspector Barnaby is drawn into the investigation, uncovering layers of secrecy in a seemingly tranquil English village.
