Book Description
The first three novels in the popular British murder mystery series, The Devonshire Mysteries (plus a bonus mystery story). Join amateur detectives Dan and Alan as they investigate mysterious murders against the idyllic rural backdrop of Dartmoor and Cornwall. These British mysteries will keep you turning the pages but they won't give you nightmares. The Devonshire Mysteries are cosy mysteries (or cozy mysteries for my friends across the pond). As with any cosy/cozy mystery, you'll find a crime (or two just to make things interesting) and there'll be clues, suspects, red herrings and a variety of puzzles for our intrepid investigators to solve. While there is an element of danger, and let's face it, crime is never pleasant, you won't find gratuitous violence or gore. Any profanity is infrequent, mild and presented in the context of the story. Sound good? Then escape to rural Devon, where the sun is shining on the rolling green fields, the birds are singing in the trees, and the wilds of Dartmoor are just a heartbeat away. The Devonshire Mysteries - your world of cosy mystery awaits. Enjoy all three mystery novels in one handy collection, plus a bonus mystery story, and remember, there's more to Dartmoor than meets the eye. Here's a little more info about each book you'll be getting: Mystery Novel I - Valley of Lies A Village, A Murder, A Mystery. And a Keen-eyed Amateur Detective. In a quiet Dartmoor village, ex-corporate troubleshooter Dan Corrigan is a fish out of water. He's also an excellent amateur investigator. Dan never walks away from a mystery, so when a murder is committed, he knows what he must do. He's determined to solve the mystery, whatever the risks. The murderer must not go unpunished. Justice must be done. But first, Dan must untangle a web of deceit, because in this rural valley, the river runs deep, but the lies run deeper still. Join Dan in this British mystery today, because there's more to Dartmoor than meets the eye. Mystery Novel II - Murder Between the Tides No one expected a murder. A hotel in Cornwall. A few days of peace and quiet by the sea. Dan Corrigan was looking forward to the change of scene. But he can’t help burrowing beneath the surface of every situation, and among his fellow guests there’s a rich seam of secrecy and deceit. Then the cryptic typewritten notes start to appear. And when the fabric of truth begins to unravel, it’s up to Dan to piece together the facts, one thread at a time. Some secrets should never be kept. But when they’re too terrible to tell, all that’s left is revenge. And it seems that, after all, the scene is set for a mystery. Bonus Mystery Story - Mystery at The Hall A short Devonshire Mystery story set in the quiet rural village of Embervale at Halloween. Mystery Novel III - Mystery in May There are strangers in Embervale, and not everyone is pleased to see them. A conflict is brewing, and Dan Corrigan senses that there’s more to this animosity than meets the eye. Before long, there’ll be a victim. Dan digs deeper and finds himself drawn into a web of deceit. It’s a tangled case for Dan and Alan, but they won’t give up until they’ve uncovered the truth. Join Dan and Alan today and discover a world of mystery.

Book Description
Shop owner and part-time sleuth Betsy Devonshire has a knack for unraveling mysteries—and it’s entangled her in more than one knotty situation. Here, for the first time in one volume, are the first three Needlecraft Mysteries. CREWEL WORLD: When Betsy arrives in Excelsior, Minnesota, she winds up settling in—and taking a new job at her sister Margot’s needlework shop. It seems things are finally going her way—until Margot is murdered. In a town this friendly, no one seems like they could have done something so horrible. But Betsy isn’t going to rest until she finds her sister’s killer. FRAMED IN LACE: The historic Hopkins ferry is raised from the bottom of a lake—and everyone is stunned when a skeleton is found on board. But the evidence is a bit soggy: the boat sank in 1949, the victim was a woman, and an unidentifiable lacelike fabric was found nearby. Still, with a little help from her needlecraft shop patrons, Betsy intends to sew up this mystery. A STITCH IN TIME: Minnesota winters may be freezing, but Betsy’s heart is warmed when the best needle-workers in Excelsior volunteer to restore a damaged tapestry found in a church basement. Betsy even donates the materials for the project, hoping the publicity will boost her shop’s sales. But she soon realizes that her good intentions may have uncovered secrets that someone will kill to keep.
