Sinossi

'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.

'Absolutely perfect for fans of M. C. Beaton' Kate Rhodes, author of Devil's Table
