A huge thanks to everyone who pre-ordered Poison at Penshaw Hall – you made sure Addison got off to a flying start. Your copy should already be in your Kindle library. I can’t wait to hear what you think!
To everyone else, never fear… The book won’t jump up to its regular price for another week or so. That means is you’ve still got time to grab it at the discounted pre-order / launch price:
It’s the second book in the series, but I’ve written it so you can jump right in, even if you haven’t read the first book. If you prefer to eat your dessert before your dinner, hit the relevant button above. Or, if you’re more like me and prefer to do things in order, check out Murder on Milverton Square first.
What’s Addison up to this time?
Addison Harper is back, and with another dead body at his feet. Only this time, the entire town saw it happen.
Milverton is in the running for the Terrific Town Award, so a dramatic death at the opening ceremony is far from ideal. Addison had only been lending a hand, but now finds himself much more involved than he’d ever hoped. To think his biggest worry before had been his upcoming date with Sergeant Jake Murphy.
As for the sergeant, he can hardly ignore a hall full of witnesses even if he wanted to. And they’re all pointing the finger at his date, Milverton’s newest arrival, Addison Harper.
Poison at Penshaw Hall is the latest in a wonderful cosy mystery series set in an enchanting small town nestled amongst stunning New Zealand scenery.
Investigate The Milverton Mysteries for a chaotic cast of local busybodies, delicious baked treats, a demanding and disdainful ginger cat, a very slow-burn romance with a rather appealing policeman, and of course… murder!
So, what’s next?
I’ll be spending the next couple of weeks letting everyone know my new book is out in the world. If you think anyone – your friend, relative, colleague, librarian, random person on the street – might be interested, please let them know about Milverton. Personal recommendations are the best!
In my next email to my mailing list – sign up here! – I should be able to give an early update on how the launch has gone, and hopefully I’ll have a better idea about when the paperback will be ready. Exciting stuff ahead!
