I Died at Fallow Hall
by Bonnie Burke-Patel
☆ Shortlisted for the 2025 CWA KAA Gold Dagger
I Died at Fallow Hall by Bonnie Burke-Patel takes place in a typical English country mystery setting, with a cottage, a cute local village, and a big house where the local lord lives. In tone, however, the book is not light, but quite melancholic—lots of the characters are lonely—or at least reflective. It’s a dual timeline story with the action taking place both in the present and in 1967.
