Book description
Take one quiet Yorkshire Village, add a measure of mystery, a
sprinkling of scandal and Kate Shackleton - amateur sleuth
extraordinaire! Bridgestead is a quiet village: a babbling brook,
rolling hills and a working mill at its heart. Pretty and remote,
nothing exceptional happens, except for the day when Joshua Braithwaite
goes missing in dramatic circumstances, never to be heard of again. 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? 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...

Award.
