* A Dr Nell Ward Short Story*
The very first short story by the bestselling author of the Dr Nell Ward Mystery series.
This year, you are cordially invited to join us at Finchmere manor where many a mystery has been solved by the fabulous Dr Nell Ward. Come along and join the Finchmere Flash!
Guests lucky enough to stay at Finchmere's Love Nest in the Victorian Folly are invited to take part in a cherished Ward family tradition: a treasure hunt like no other.
I set out not just to befuddle -
But to bedazzle, with my puzzle.
No soul could declare it balderdash
To call this prize the Finchmere Flash.
For this is not merely earthly treasure
But a token of love's pleasure.
And, through the mists of history,
It now becomes your mystery.
Born from the devotion of Finchmere's original landlord, Lord Beaumont, to his beloved wife, the Finchmere Flash has challenged generations of guests to follow in his footsteps -darting from clue to clue, solving riddles, and chasing a mysterious prize.
Nell knows better than anyone how fiendishly tricky the Flash can be: she's been stumped more than once! But now, she isn't hunting alone. With Rav by her side and fierce competitors like Shannon and James, Sylvia and Connor hot on her trail, the race is on.
