Mollie Hardwick Books Overview

Malice Domestic

‘Graceful writing embellishes this stunning tale of evil.’BOOKLISTMending her heart after a bad love affair, Doran Fairweather loves her new life in a tiny Kent county village. Her antiques business is doing well and her low key romance with the young vicar is quite pleasant. Then a stranger, Mr. Mumbray arrives, bringing with him a malignant presence that causes the villagers to flee, cringe, and sicken. Only Doran and the vicar dare defy the evil they sense invading their lives, but death and destruction are running wild. And neither they nor the malevolent Mr. Mumbray himself will be spared…
.

Uneaseful Death

‘As usual, Hardwick provides suitable literary repartee.’BOOKLISTDoran Fairweather is beginning to enjoy the task of appraising family treasures at a two day Antiques Roadshow, basking in the luxury of Caxton Manor. Then the snow starts falling, the roads are blocked, the phones go out of order…
and someone is murdered. With the police unavailable, Doran does her best to investigate, and gradually discovers that among her attracative, sophisticated colleagues there is one who bears the hallmark of authentic evil…
.

The Bandersnatch

‘The story’s lively characters, antique lore, tension laden plot, and feisty hero*ine add up to amiable entertainment.’THE KIRKUS REVIEWSWhen antiques dealer Doran Fairweather purchases an ancient limewood carving of a rosy lipped cherub in flight for her baby’s nursery, it seems she excites a lot of unwanted interest. Someone ransacks her home for it, while she and her family are asleep, and anonymous collectors offer outrageous prices for the carving and utter curses when they are refused. Now Doran must use her investigative brilliance to save her family from these mounting acts of terror. Staunchly supported by her husband Rodney, and inspired by the works of Lewis Carroll, Doran risks her life and everything she loves in an all or nothing gamble with a madman…

Come Away, Death

TILL DEATH DO THEM PART…
Doran Fairweather and her husband, ex vicar Rodney Chelmarsh, are both secretly relieved when she decides to sublet a friend’s London apartment for a while. Maybe the separation will put the spice back into their relationship. But the flat is depressing, her maid is strangely intimidating, and the flat’s owner is horribly murdered beside the Thames. Then, in a pre Tudor house with a curse upon it owned by a wonderful man who might have stepped out of Shakespeare Doran discovers another world. There, an unbroken connection with the past is so compelling that an oath of revenge sworn when Richard III ruled England still exerts its evil power…
even over Doran’s innocent loved ones deep in the peaceful English countryside. From the Paperback edition.

The Merrymaid

Set during the 16th Century, The Merry Maid is a delightful story of a young woman who pursues her craft rather than the ideal of courtly love. Jacquette Valency descended from a family of French jongleurs or strolling entertainers. She travels to England with her father to perform at the court of an aging King Henry VIII. But Jacquette’s father is attacked and killed by robbers at Dover. Jacquette, alone in the world, is destitute and can barely speak English. She finds shelter with a kindly hermit priest. Finally, Margaretta Brandon, a wealty widow, takes her in and adopts Jacquette as her own. Raised by Mistress Brandon, Jacquette grows into a beautiful, well educated young woman betrothed to a prosperous merchant. But at a county fair she meets Alan Thornwood, a young man who follows her father’s craft. Jacquette is practical while Alan is a gentle visionary. But there is a strong attraction between the two. Jacquette must then decide whether to retrun to the life of a traveling entertainer or remain where she is and marry the wealthy merchant. A wonderful blend of history and romance, it is a story that is sheer delight to read.
