About the author
Heather Parker
33 books3 followersI'm a freelance writer and live in the English Lake District with a collection of cats, dogs and a husband.
My humorous fantasy novels, Middlewitch and Middlewitch Mayhem, are published by Drollerie Press. I should perhaps add that none of the characters bear any resemblance to my friends and neighbours. There has never been a hint of witchcraft in my village, in spite of what some in the Mothers' Union might say... The second book in the series, Middlewitch Mayhem, has just been released. (Please see blog post re Drollerie Press closure...)
I was recently awarded The Benjamin Franklin House / Daily Telegraph Literary Prize. Publishing credits include The People’s Friend, The Weekly News, The New Writer, Expanded Horizons, Bards and Sages, GlassFire Magazine, Absent Willow Review, Big Pulp, The Ranfurly Review, Sniplits, Abandoned Towers, and Space and Time . My stories also appear in anthologies, including the Out of Line Peace and Justice Anthology, Little Sisters Mystery Anthology, Hoi Polloi 111 Literary Journal, Absent Willow Review Annual Anthology, Bridge House Publishing, 50 Stories for Pakistan and Storeis for Sendai.
My mini-mystery, A Quiet Place in the Country, is published by Wild Child Publishing.

If you’re a fan of mysteries with a British setting I know you’ll enjoy My Learned Friend. Ms. Parker did a wonderful job with the description of the village where this story takes place. I felt as if I was there and getting to know each of the characters as she introduced them.
I especially liked the way the author told this story and how it unfolded in just seventeen pages. It felt longer and I mean that in a good way. Ms. Parker packed a lot of story into this short read. As with any good mystery I kept wondering what would happen next. What I really liked was she had me guessing who was going to be the victim of the crime. It was a surprise, and then I found myself wanting to read on to find out who did it.
And to add even more layers to this story, she added a touch of romance that was enjoyable, too. This is a quick and very fun read for anyone who likes a good whodunit with a cast of British characters and a country setting.
