At the urgent request of an old school friend, Drew and Madeline Farthering come to Bloodworth Park Lodge in the midst of the Yorkshire moors, a place as moody and mysterious as a Brontë hero. There have been several worrisome incidents around those lonesome rolling hills–property desecrated, fires started, sheep and cattle scattered. Worst of all, the vicar has been found dead on the steps of the church, a crime for which Drew can discern no motive at all.
Few in the town of Bunting’s Nest seem like suspects, and Drew can’t keep his suspicions from falling on his friend’s new bride. Do her affections lie more with her husband’s money and estate, while her romantic interests stray to their fiery Welsh gamekeeper? As the danger grows ever closer, it’s up to Drew to look past his own prejudices, determine what’s really going on, and find the killer before it’s too late.
My Thoughts:
Julianna Deering takes her readers on an intriguing who-done-it adventure through the wild moors of Yorkshire, filled with questionable characters, alibis, and murder. Drew Fathering, his wife, Madeline, and their friends must be on high alert if they want to survive this intense murder mystery.
Murder on the Moor is my first novel of Julianna Deering’s. I enjoyed meeting amateur sleuth, Drew Farthering, and the many quirky characters filling this mystery novel. Sadly, I figured out the who-done-it fairly early on in the story, so the mystery thread didn’t hold as much appeal as I had wished for. But overall, this was a fun read and I’m interested in reading the previous books in the Drew Farthering series.
