Dying In The Wool by Frances Brody

Reminiscent of Dorothy L. Sayers and Agatha Christie with a thoroughly likeable protagonist and a plot that held me to the end. --Mignon F. Ballard, author of the Miss Dimple Kilpatrick Mystery Series

Dying in the Wool] introduces a refreshingly complex heroine and adds a fine feeling for the postwar period. --Kirkus Reviews

Take one quiet Yorkshire village

Bridgestead is a peaceful spot: a babbling brook, rolling hills and a working mill at its heart. Pretty and remote, nothing exceptional happens.

Add a measure of mystery

Until the day that Master of the Mill Joshua Braithwaite goes missing in dramatic circumstances, never to be heard of again.

A sprinkling of scandal

Now Joshua's daughter is getting married and wants one last attempt at finding her father. Has he run off with his mistress, or was he murdered for his mounting coffers?

And Kate Shackleton--amateur sleuth extraordinaire

Kate Shackleton has always loved solving puzzles. So who better to get to the bottom of Joshua's mysterious disappearance in this charming traditional mystery by Frances Brody? But as Kate taps into the lives of the Bridgestead dwellers, she opens cracks that some would kill to keep closed.

FRANCES BRODY is a writer who lives in Leeds, England. She authored historical sagas before turning to crime with Dying in the Wool, the first novel in the Kate Shackleton series, for which she won the HarperCollins Elizabeth Elgin award for most regionally evocative debut saga of the millennium. Death at the Seaside, A Death in the Dales, and Murder on a Summer's Day are some of Kate Shackleton's other mysteries.
