When murder hits close to home, Iris must fight to clear her name…
Spring, 1924. Reporter Iris Woodmore plans to move to London to avoid a shocking hometown scandal. Longtime enemy Archie Powell has been threatening to reveal her darkest secret – and she’s desperate to flee before he does.
But when he’s found murdered after a violent argument with her, there’s no escape. Iris must stay and clear her name even though the truth could ruin her reputation.
With the police closing in, Iris has to find the real killer if she’s to keep her secret. Can she prove her innocence without revealing the identity of the one man who can provide her with an alibi?
If you love historical mysteries with a feisty female lead, scandalous secrets, and a splash of murder, then Murder at Mill Ponds House will have you hooked from page one.
Michelle Salter nails the Golden Age mystery vibes—the smoky parlors, the hushed conversations behind closed doors, the high-stakes drama of a world where a woman’s reputation can be ruined faster than you can say “gin fizz.” The tension is thick, the twists are sharp, and the stakes feel real. Plus, Iris is the kind of heroine you root for—smart, determined, and not about to let a little murder accusation ruin her day.
If you love mysteries with a mix of suspense, sharp dialogue, and a dash of 1920s flair, Murder at Mill Ponds House is a must-read. Just maybe keep an alibi handy… you never know when you might need one.
