About
Bridgestead is a peaceful spot: a babbling brook, rolling hills and a working mill at its heart. Pretty and remote, nothing exceptional happens... Until the day that Master of the Mill Joshua Braithwaite goes missing in dramatic circumstances, never to be heard of again. Now Joshua's daughter is getting married and wants one last attempt at finding her father. Has he run off with his mistress, or was he murdered for his mounting coffers?

"The first in a planned series introduces a refreshingly complex heroine and adds a fine feeling for the postwar period."
Kirkus
"Four out of four stars. ...a lovely start to a series that will have historical fiction fans well-pleased and looking forward to more from a new, very appealing heroine."
The Mystery Reader
"This well-plotted and atmospheric tale is enriched by technical expertise and a vividly imagined Yorkshire setting. Kate Shackleton joins Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs in a sub-group of young female amateur detectives who survived and were matured by their wartime experiences."
