    At Castle Kintochlochie, deep in the wild and windswept Highlands, Lady Ophelia is determined to wed wildly unsuitable estate manager Hamish, and nothing is going to stand in her way.

    But then accidents start befalling those she loves. 
    And her dear little terrier, Pudding, goes missing. 
    Someone will stop at nothing to prevent Ophelia walking down the aisle. 
    Can she uncover the culprit, before they ruin her chance of happiness with ruggedly handsome Hamish? 
    Or are her nuptials doomed? 
    This is the third and final book in the ‘My Lady Ophelia’ 1920s romantic comedy series. 
    Prepare for mischief, mishaps, and possibly… murder!

    'Brilliant ... Think Miss Marple with a little more of an edge' Michael Jecks, author of The Last Templar
    
    
    Juno Browne is a self-appointed Domestic Goddess. From cleaning to dog-walking to caring for the elderly, she flits around the picturesque town of Ashburton in her trusty van ready to turn her hand to anything. And all too often the 'anything' happens to be murder...
    
    In book 1, Dead in Devon, Juno takes on a new client, Old Nick, but little does she expect to be pulled into the shady world of antique dealing and find herself in the middle of a murder investigation. And, if she's not careful, she'll be the next victim, too.
    
    In the next instalment, Dead on Dartmoor, Juno becomes embroiled in the death of a man who was apparently the victim of a bizarre accident. But this death is not the only one to have occurred at Moorworthy Chase, and Juno is soon convinced that something is very wrong at Moorworthy...
    From Devon with Death, Ashburton's mythical blood-drinking demon, Cutty Dyer, is blamed for what might have been a practical joke in poor taste, but then the body of a woman is discovered by the river and it becomes clear that a killer has taken on Cutty's identity.
    
    In book 4, The Dartmoor Murders, when Juno purchases a wardrobe to stock in her fledgling antiques store, she doesn't expect to find a dead body inside. With another suspicious death, the hunt for a double murderer is on.

    In the summer of 1889, a young Londoner and consultant hydraulic engineer, Victor Hatherley, recounts the strange events that occurred to him the night before, initially to Dr. Watson and later to Sherlock Holmes. 
    Hatherley was visited by a man who identified himself as Colonel Lysander Stark and offered a confidential 50 guinea (£52.50, equivalent to £6,173 in 2021[1]) commission to examine a hydraulic press at a country house in Eyford, Berkshire that Stark claimed was used to compress fuller's earth into bricks. Despite his misgivings and theorising that Stark was lying about the machine's true purpose, Hatherley felt compelled to accept the offer, as his business was newly established and he had little work. 
    Upon arriving at an appointed train station, Hatherley was picked up by a carriage with frosted glass windows and traveled what he believed was a considerable distance to the house. Distracted by his desire to be paid, Hatherley ignored a woman's warnings to escape before he examined the press and made recommendations on how to fix it. Upon further investigation however, he discovered the floor was covered in a "crust of metallic deposit." Realising his theory was right, he confronted Stark, who then tried to kill him with the press. After the woman helped Hatherley escape, a murderous Stark pursued him with a cleaver, forcing Hatherley to jump from a second-storey window, losing his thumb to Stark in the process. Surviving the fall and landing within some rose bushes, Hatherley passed out and later awoke by a hedge near the train station.
