Who Put Bella in the Wych Elm?

From Debut Author Blake Myers

Who Put Bella in the Wych Elm? Cover
(working cover)

When Dr Emma Lloyd relocates to the quaint English parish of Hagley, she hopes to leave her painful past behind and reinvent herself as a forensic investigator. But her fresh start takes a sinister twist when she’s drawn into the parish’s most infamous cold case: the mysterious 80-year-old murder of a Jane Doe found discarded in a tree’s hollow. A woman the locals have come to know as Bella.

As Emma digs deeper and secrets come to light, she faces unexpected resistance—from her superiors to Bella herself. Haunted by Bella’s vengeful ghost, Emma begins to suspect the case is far more dangerous—and personal—than she ever imagined.

To uncover the truth, Emma must navigate a tangle of lies and confront the dark secrets buried in Hagley’s past. But some mysteries refuse to be answered, and as Bella’s restless spirit grows increasingly violent, Emma will have to decide how far she’s willing to go to lay her and the town’s ghosts to rest.

Who Put Bella in the Wych Elm? is a spine-chilling tale of obsession, betrayal, and the deadly consequences of secrets left too long in the dark.
