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? But as Kate taps into the lives of the Bridgestead dwellers, she opens cracks that some would kill to keep closed.

Tbh, if I had started reading Kate Shackleton series from this particular book, I might not have taken an interest to read further... But a nice way to kill time anyway, and the mystery remained a mystery till the end.

Absolutely love it, when I can pass a book forward :) Happy reading!

Thank you so much, always happy to get a book from my wishlist!!!

Quite nice, not the best of the genre, but nice enough to go on with the series!

To Kirjakko next!

I accidently came to work on holiday and found this book from our mail-box! It's good to get to travel to Yorkshire, but I have a few books ahead on the queue. Thanks!
