A Derbyshire Cozy Mystery Where Nothing Is Quite What It Appears
The Flour Power Mysteries — Book Fifteen
A breathtaking view. A buried truth. A murder hidden in plain sight.
When the ridge reveals the Hope Valley below, it also reveals something far darker…
At dawn on a crisp October morning, a walker discovers a car sitting alone at Surprise View — and inside it, the body of Dr Edwin Graves, a respected literary heritage consultant whose work on Hathersage’s Brontë connections was about to change everything. His death looks natural. Too natural.
DI Callum Reid and baker‑sleuth Olivia Baker Reid know better.
Because Edwin wasn’t just researching Charlotte Brontë. He had found something. And someone in Hathersage needed it silenced.
A secret set of Charlotte Brontë letters. A family desperate to keep the past buried.Edwin’s discovery — six intimate, morally precise letters written during Charlotte Brontë’s 1845 stay in Hathersage — threatens to expose a long‑hidden act of exploitation by one of the village’s most powerful families. Letters that would permanently alter the village’s history… and destroy a carefully curated reputation.
When the toxicology report reveals potassium chloride — a clinical agent requiring medical expertise — suspicion turns toward Cassandra Ollenshraw, retired GP, parish councillor, and the formidable matriarch of a two‑hundred‑year local dynasty.
A woman with everything to lose. And the knowledge to kill without leaving a trace.
A literary mystery woven through the moors, the archives… and the bakery kitchenAs Olivia and Callum follow the trail through the Eyre family archive, the George Hotel, and the windswept gritstone edges above Hathersage, Charlotte Brontë’s voice becomes the book’s quiet compass — sharp, observant, morally unflinching.
And while the investigation deepens, something else approaches: their wedding, three weeks away, quiet and perfect, officiated by the Reverend Marsh in one of his final appearances before retirement.
Pressed flowers. Elderflower syrup. A three‑tier cake finished at five a.m. A ceremony the whole town “accidentally” attends.
Warmth threaded through tension. Love threaded through truth. A surprise view of its own.
