A picture hides a thousand lies... And only Iris Grey can uncover the truth.

At the Wetherby's Christmas Eve party, the mulled wine is in full flow - but so are tensions and rivalries among the guests. On Christmas Day, the youngest member of the Wetherby family, Lorcan, finds a body in the water. A tragic accident? Or a deadly crime?

With the snow falling, Iris enters a world of village gossip, romantic intrigue, buried secrets, and murder.

Author Tilly Bagshawe writing under a pseudonym, introduces us to society portraitist Iris Grey whose Christmas country retreat is anything but when a body is found floating by the mill on Christmas Day, instead of tucking into turkey and all the trimmings, Iris finds herself caught up in all manner of sleuthing and intrigue." —Red Magazine

A little too long but the characters were interesting and complex

The story went on too long and I thought there was too much going on. Too many storylines.

highly recommend

Excellent narration. Often times it's difficult to follow the characters, but this narrator is outstanding.

Well worth the read!

Good narrator and interesting complex story. Good as Agatha Christie. Twists and turns throughout. Perfect book to curl up in bed on a rainy day.

Iris Grey Mysteries

Murder at the Mill is an entertaining and complex mystery. it starts off slow and introduces several characters. The beginning is a bit confusing because there are several points of view to follow. As the story continues, Iris Grey emerges as the dominate point of view and the story continues at a quicker pace. There are several plot twists and subplots in the story. Shaw does a good job of tying it all together and bring the story to a satisfying end. I enjoyed reading about Iris Grey and look forward to the next book.

Interesting. Different, Complex

Iris Grey and her unlikely sidekick, Jenna, made difficult choices in unmasking and reporting the murderer(s). I won’t say more for fear of giving away part of the plot. But a very good listen.
