Set across 1920s Yorkshire, this collection follows Kate Shackleton, a First World War widow and daughter of a police superintendent, as she turns her sharp instincts and photographic eye into a career as an amateur investigator. Dying in the Wool opens the series in Bridgestead, where a mill owner's decade-old disappearance hides dangerous family secrets. A Medal for Murder pulls Kate into a Harrogate theatre robbery-turned-murder, while Murder in the Afternoon sends her to a Yorkshire Dales quarry village to solve a vanishing body. In A Woman Unknown, a wife's suspicious errands spiral into the murder of a disgraced banker, and Murder on a Summer's Day sees Kate tracing a missing Maharajah from the Bolton Abbey estate. Death of an Avid Reader is set in Leeds's historic subscription library, where a hidden daughter and a supposed ghost collide with a very real crime, and A Death in the Dales takes Kate to Langcliffe to re-examine an old pub murder that still haunts the village. Each novel stands alone, so readers can dip in anywhere
