What to expect

A gripping cosy historical murder mystery, perfect for fans of Verity Bright

A single shot is fired. Was it meant to kill?

London, 1922. When reporter Iris Woodmore returns to England after a scandalous trip abroad, not everyone is pleased to see her.

Her attempts to mend relationships and get her old job back aren’t helped by her growing attraction to the charismatic Reverend Archie Powell.

Only wealthy businesswoman Constance Timpson is pleased her friend has returned. Constance has deadly enemies and needs Iris to defend her from a hostile press – and a mysterious sniper.

When a single shot is fired, Constance doesn’t know if it was intended to scare or kill her. Then, two of Constance’s factory workers go missing, and it’s clear the threat is real.

Iris turns amateur sleuth to investigate the mystery – and discovers the sniper isn’t the only hidden enemy preying on women.

An addictive and cosy murder mystery to delve into! Ideal for fans of Verity Bright, Claire Gradidge and Emily Organ.

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