Addison, Jake, Mabel, and Keith have never looked so adorable! I’ve always had a strong impression of their appearance in my head while writing The Milverton Mysteries and I periodically describe them on page but this year was the first time we’ve had a visual representation.
I had great fun working with illustrator Surya Dexter on this character art commission. Didn’t he capture them so well? Have a look for yourself:

Addison Harper
Our main man looks like he’s about to do something embarrassing.

Sergeant Jake Murphy
Milverton’s sergeant is ready for anything (and he needs to be).

Mabel Zhou
This sneaky septuagenarian is absolutely about to get up to some mischief.

Keith
The judgement is strong with this one.

The Milverton Mysteries
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!
