Murder in Moreton

A cantankerous old woman… A mysterious death…



Not what Eliza had planned for her first week back in Moreton…



June 1900: Eliza Thomson is back in Moreton after nearly thirty years away. Not only that, she has a job in her husband’s surgery … and her best friend, Connie lives next door. 



Connie is eager to introduce Eliza to the villagers, but their excitement vanishes when they bump into an old neighbour, Mrs Milwood. 



Is she always so nasty? 



And what has she done to Eliza’s childhood friend Judith? 



Within days of Eliza’s arrival, Mrs Milwood is found dead … and the evidence points to murder. 



With no shortage of suspects, Eliza is keen to help the police with their enquiries … until an Inspector is sent from New Scotland Yard. He doesn’t want Eliza interfering with the investigation, but when Judith becomes their main suspect, Eliza refuses to do nothing.



With Connie at her side, Eliza must unravel the secrets of this sleepy English village ... and hope she can persuade the police to bring the right person to justice before it’s too late…



This is the second standalone story in the Eliza Thomson Investigates series. If you like Miss Marple-style murder mysteries, and historical heroines with attitude, you’ll love this step-back-in-time cozy series.
