Poison at Penshaw Hall is out now!

Poison at Penshaw Hall (A Milverton Mystery) by G B Ralph. Out now. Book cover in front of large tree.

A huge thanks to everyone who pre-ordered Poison at Penshaw Hall – you made sure Addison got off to a flying start. Your copy should already be in your Kindle library. I can’t wait to hear what you think!

To everyone else, never fear… The book won’t jump up to its regular price for another week or so. That means is you’ve still got time to grab it at the discounted pre-order / launch price:

Amazon US | Amazon UK | Amazon CA | Amazon AU (NZ)

It’s the second book in the series, but I’ve written it so you can jump right in, even if you haven’t read the first book. If you prefer to eat your dessert before your dinner, hit the relevant button above. Or, if you’re more like me and prefer to do things in order, check out Murder on Milverton Square first.

Poison at Penshaw Hall (A Milverton Mystery) by G B Ralph. Cover image and blurb. Addison Harper is back, and with another dead body at his feet. Only this time, the entire town saw it happen. Milverton is in the running for the Terrific Town Award, so a dramatic death at the opening ceremony is far from ideal. Addison had only been lending a hand, but now finds himself much more involved than he’d ever hoped. To think his biggest worry before had been his upcoming date with Sergeant Jake Murphy. As for the sergeant, he can hardly ignore a hall full of witnesses even if he wanted to. And they’re all pointing the finger at his date, Milverton’s newest arrival, Addison Harper.

I can't wait to hear what you think! x

Murder on Milverton Square (A Milverton Mystery) by G B Ralph. Book blurb: Addison Harper is abruptly summoned to Milverton at the behest of an abrasive lawyer. He plans to be in and out, back to the city lickety-split. Instead, he finds himself charmed by the small town with its delightful and eccentric residents, not to mention the rather easy-on-the-eye Sergeant Jake Murphy. Despite the rocky start, Addison admits he’s had a pleasant day out. That is, until returning to find the prickly old lawyer on the floor, and very much dead. Worse, it looks like murder, and Addison’s fingerprints are all over the crime scene.

Murder on Milverton Square (A Milverton Mystery) by G B Ralph. Book series blurb: Murder on Milverton Square is the first in a wonderful new cosy mystery series set in an enchanting small town nestled amongst stunning New Zealand scenery. The Milverton Mysteries features a chaotic cast of local busybodies, delicious baked treats, a demanding and disdainful ginger cat, a very slow-burn romance with a rather appealing policeman, and of course… MURDER!
