Death Comes to Dartmoor: Beauty and Brutality in the Idyllic Devon CountrysidePaperback, 20 July 2023

When Juno Browne returns to the picturesque Dartmoor town of Ashburton after a brief holiday, she's relieved to find that no one has been murdered while she was away. Though uncharitable friends suggest the quiet was simply due to her absence. Just as she's settling back into her routine at the antiques shop and as domestic helper and dog walker, the brutal killing of local journalist Sandy Thomas shocks the town.

When it becomes clear that one of Juno's friends has managed to catch the killing on camera, Juno is swept up into a fresh murder inquiry. What was Sandy really investigating on the night she was killed? With a spate of dog kidnappings to contend with as well, the Devon countryside never felt less tranquil, and inevitably means Juno's amateur sleuthing skills will be called upon once again .
