Sunday lunch goes cold when a body is discovered in a charming Somerset mill…

Julia Ford — part-time PI, full-time chaos magnet — and her terrier, Rumpkin, are in the picturesque village of Ablebridge for a family meal. But instead of enjoying roast pork, they find themselves staring down at a body, wedged awkwardly in the local heritage water mill.

The police soon write it off as an accident, leaving the mill at risk of closure. But Hannah, a local volunteer at the mill, is not convinced. With no faith in the local law enforcement, she and the mill trust committee hire Julia to uncover the truth.

Soon, Julia and Hannah are knee-deep in village politics, cider scandals and bickering committee members. But with threats of more ‘accidents’ on the horizon, they must solve the mystery before another body turns up.

A charming, witty cozy mystery full of eccentric villagers, rural mischief and a dog with no boundaries.

Perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Jeanne M. Dams and Faith Martin.


About Jon Harris

Jon Harris grew up in the West Country just outside Bristol before moving to Cardiff to study physics and then Durham where he studied for a PhD in astronomy. After spending a few years staring into space he returned to the West Country for work and took up writing. His first novel, Murder on a Country Lane, was published in 2023.

He now lives in a village in North Somerset with his wife, son and pet tortoise. He's happy to report that the village is far less murderous than its fictional counterpart.
