2025 Writing Highlights: Visualising

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.

Cute illustrated character art of Mabel. Bullet point list: Sleuthing sidekick, Long-time local, 70+, Knows what’s what, Tea with milk and two sugars. Join Mabel for a cuppa by reading: The Milverton Mysteries.

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!
