Murder in Moreton

A suspicious death, two missing medicine bottles and an absent son.
Eliza Thomson Investigates…

June 1900: Eliza Thomson is delighted to be back in Moreton after nearly thirty years away. To cap it all, she has a job in her husband’s surgery … and her best friend, Connie lives next door!

Connie is eager to introduce Eliza to the villagers, but their excitement vanishes when they bump into an old neighbour, Mrs Milwood.

As head of the family business, Mrs Milwood isn’t afraid to use the money and power she acquired from her late husband. Even against her own family.

When a body is found, the evidence points to murder, but with only the hapless village police to lead the investigation, Eliza and Connie are determined to help … whether the newly arrived Inspector from New Scotland Yard wants them to or not…


This is the second standalone story in the Eliza Thomson Investigates series. If you like Miss Marple-style murder mysteries and historical women with attitude, you’ll love this historical British series.
