The Mill Rescue Murder: An English Village Heritage Mystery

About The Mill Rescue Murder: An English Village Heritage Mystery

Phoebe Vale has finally found a project worth betting her future on. Restoring Foxglove Mill into studios, archives, and workshops could give Blackthorn Bindery room to grow and turn Larkspur End’s love of “heritage” into something useful for once. Then, during the autumn fundraiser and lantern regatta, the mill campaign’s treasurer is found dead inside the locked-off wing.

Everyone calls it a tragic accident. Phoebe does not believe a word of it. As she digs into missing claims packets, altered valuation reports, and funding files that do not match the town’s official story, Phoebe discovers that Foxglove Mill’s decline was not simply bad luck or neglect.

Someone has been shaping the damage, moving the money, and deciding which version of the truth gets preserved. Now the restoration project is under threat, the town is closing ranks, and Phoebe’s own future is tied to whether the mill survives. Because if she cannot uncover who killed Naomi Hesketh and why, Foxglove Mill will be handed back to the very people who helped break it in the first place.

And this time, the truth may cost Phoebe the home she has fought to build.
