His debut series, The Maplewood Murders, introduces readers to a world of quaint tea shops, intricate clues, and secrets lurking behind lace curtains. Inspired by the timeless elegance of Agatha Christie and the wit of Richard Osman, Wren's writing blends classic suspense with modern heart. The Maplewood Murders is his first novel in the Maplewood series.It began, as most secrets in Maplewood do, with something charming. A teacup that moved on its own.A candle that refused to die out. And a whisper that no one quite heard clearly enough to question-until it was too late. Maplewood, the picture-perfect English village, wore its beauty like a disguise. Its cottages, brushed with ivy and kindness, seemed incapable of deceit. But beneath the cobblestone calm, ambition festered, envy brewed, and memory-sharp, fragile, and easily bruised-was never truly buried.
