The Rose Muddle Mysteries
The Rose Muddle Mysteries series by Imogen White is inspired by a real-life historical artefact called the Hove Amber Cup. Many years ago, the cup was found beneath an enormous burial mound which once stood in the centre of the town. Imogen started to imagine who was once buried there and why. What had they done to be buried in such a grand way? Why were they buried with an amber cup?
