Bloodline by Fiona Mountain

‘Cinderella is in the bluebell woods at Poachers Dell'
The anonymous note means nothing to ancestor detective Natasha Blake. Then one of her clients, an enigmatic old man who had commissioned a family tree of his granddaughter’s boyfriend, is shot dead at his isolated farm, just as shocking facts about the past are brought to light. Is there a link?
Unconnected yet haunting stories begin to emerge from the ancient paper trails: two young soldiers playing football in no man’s land on Christmas day 1914; Second World War land girls, inseparable friends, until a fatal mistake tore them apart; and the eerie echo of a child in an English country home……
Despite Natasha’s reluctance to delve deeper, she knows that family histories hide many secrets……
