    About this series

    Wartime secrets, smugglers’ caves, skeletal remains...

    And the holiday’s only just begun…

    July 1923 - Iris Woodmore travels to Devon with her friends Percy Baverstock and Millicent Nightingale for her father’s wedding to Katherine Keats.

    But when Millicent uncovers skeletal remains hidden on the private beach of Katherine’s former home, Iris begins to suspect her future stepmother is not what she seems.

    The police reveal the dead man is a smuggler who went missing in 1918, and when a new murder occurs, they realise a killer is in their midst. The link between both murders is Katherine. Could Iris’s own father be in danger?

    'The Iris Woodmore mysteries are fast becoming some of my favourites.' M J Porter

    'The Iris Woodmore Mysteries are a firm favourite of mine – rich with period detail but with a damn fine mystery as well. Highly recommended.' netgalley reviewer, five stars

    'What an utterly delightful story! ... I am sure Dame Christie would have been delighted by this novel.' netgalley reviewer, five stars

      A murder shocks the small town of Walden. And it’s only the beginning… Walden, 1921. Local reporter Iris Woodmore is determined to save her beloved lake, Waldenmere, from destruction. After a bloody and expensive war, the British Army can’t afford to keep the lake and build a convalescent home on its shores yet they still battle with Walden Council and a railway company for ownership. But an old mansion used as an officer training academy stands where the railway company plans to build a lakeside hotel. It belongs to General Cheverton – and he won’t leave his home. When the General is found murdered, it appears someone will stop at nothing to win the fight for Waldenmere. Iris thinks she can take on the might of the railway company and find the killer. But nothing prepares her for the devastation that’s to come… 'A fabulously well-researched historical cosy mystery... The Iris Woodmore mysteries are fast becoming some of my favourites.'

      A single shot is fired. Was it intended to kill? September 1922 – Iris Woodmore returns to Walden after a scandalous trip abroad – and not everyone is pleased to see her. Her efforts to mend relations are hindered by her growing attraction to the unpredictable Reverend Archie Powell. Only her friend, wealthy businesswoman Constance Timpson, welcomes her back. Constance has made deadly enemies and needs Iris to defend her from a hostile press. When a single shot is fired at Constance, no one is sure if the sniper intended to scare or kill – but when two of her factory workers go missing, it’s clear the threat is real.
