This brand-new paperback follows librarian-turned-sleuth Kitt Hartley and her Hartley and Edwards Investigations team as they take on a baffling missing-person case near Carlisle.

Joe quickly discovers that the low-level office chaos is only the beginning: the team is pulled into a real case when a man named Ralph Holmes vanishes on the outskirts of Carlisle. With local police reluctant to investigate what appears to be a voluntary disappearance, Ralph's niece Carly Lewis turns to Kitt's agency for answers. As Kitt, Grace and Joe dig deeper, they uncover secrets buried far beneath the surface of this seemingly quiet corner of the borderlands. Helen Cox once again demonstrates her gift for blending gentle humour, believable relationships and clever plotting against an evocative regional backdrop. Longtime readers will relish the deepening bonds between the established cast, while Joe's fish-out-of-water perspective adds fresh energy to the familiar formula. This instalment continues the emotional throughlines fans have followed since Murder by the Minster, while remaining accessible to newcomers. Cox's journalism background lends the prose a crisp pace, and her poet's eye brings texture to the Yorkshire and border settings. It's a satisfying, atmospheric read that rewards loyal fans and new readers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEighth book in the much-loved Kitt Hartley Yorkshire Mysteries series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm, character-driven cosy crime with genuine emotional depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtmospheric Yorkshire and border-country setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngaging new character dynamics as newcomer Joe joins the team\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand-new paperback edition, ideal for shelves, gifting or book clubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for fans of gentle, page-turning mystery fiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHelen Cox is a Yorkshire-born novelist and poet who completed her MA in creative writing at York St John University.
