An Ambush of Tigers
The BRAND NEW instalment in the bestselling Dr Nell Ward mystery murder series - for fans of Richard Osman, Robert Thorogood and Janice Hallett!
At Finchmere, beneath the snow, an ambush lies in wait...
After a dazzling Indian wedding, Nell and Rav return to a frost-kissed Finchmere, eager to host their blessing in the woodland Nell loves best. But, as their nearest and dearest gather, someone is setting a deadly snare.
The country estate is in its winter finery, with new artisans creating crafts for the Festive Finchmere Christmas Market. Before the celebrations unfold, a shocking secret is revealed, which shows how their families were fatally intertwined, centuries before Nell and Rav said, 'I do.'
As their newlywed bliss unravels, some of their party are poisoned - and Rav is forced to face the risk of losing those he loves. While Nell wrestles with her own family history, the tragedies in Rav's sow seeds of doubt as she hunts down the murderer.
But Nell cannot expose the truth that will save Rav, his family, and their relationship without evidence.
Using all her ecological skills - and all her nerve - Nell must set a dangerous trap for the most cold-blooded killer she's encountered yet.
With the predator poised to pounce, can Nell lure them out of hiding before someone else she loves becomes their prey?

Sarah Yarwood-Lovett
In the quiet folds of the English countryside, where hedgerows hide secrets and shadows stir beneath the underbrush, Sarah Yarwood-Lovett has carved out an unexpected space for crime. Not with flashing lights or high-speed chases, but with the rustle of leaves, the flight of a crow, and the knowing eye of an ecologist who’s spent years decoding nature’s quiet language.
Before she wrote a single line of fiction, Sarah spent over sixteen years as a wildlife specialist, tracking nocturnal mammals, studying animal behavior, and collecting data that would later shape her fictional worlds. That life—spent crouched in woodlands and poring over soil samples—didn’t just teach her patience; it trained her to notice what others might miss. It's this attentiveness that makes her mystery novels sing with authenticity. Her debut, A Murder of Crows, introduced readers to Dr. Nell Ward, a fellow ecologist who can spot a lie as easily as a deer trail. The book quickly soared to Kindle’s Top 5, earning acclaim for its smart, environmentally grounded twist on the classic whodunit.
