02/ Breaking Bud
Bewitched meets Miss Marple in this fun and witty mystery series, where an amnesiac witch with a penchant for chaos, untangles murder in a Welsh village brimming with secrets.
When Essie Hemmings stumbles upon Gareth, her best friend’s ex, dead in her kitchen, it's just the beginning of another tangled mystery in the seemingly serene Welsh village of Llanrhydwen. But this time, the Blooming Detectives have to prove this murder extends far beyond a simple crime of passion.
The quiet community is abuzz with rumours when it's revealed that the hitman from Essie's past was just a pawn in a larger game, one involving the local flower farm.
As Essie, Nia, and their friend Manon delve deeper, they uncover a scandal that rocks the village to its core.
With Nia's investment in Blodeuyn Farm at stake and the lives of their loved ones in peril, the trio must navigate a maze of lies and deceit. As they piece together Gareth's involvement, they realise that the tranquil façade of Llanrhydwen masks dangers more deadly than they ever imagined.
Can you unravel the mystery before the village’s secrets consume them all?
Breaking Bud is the second in the Blooming Detectives series.
