Addison Harper is abruptly summoned to Milverton at the behest of an abrasive lawyer. He plans to be in and out, back to the city lickety-split. Instead, he finds himself charmed by the small town with its delightful and eccentric residents, not to mention the rather easy-on-the-eye Sergeant Jake Murphy.
Despite the rocky start, Addison admits he has had a pleasant day out—that is, until returning to find the prickly old lawyer on the floor and very much dead. Worse, it looks like murder, and Addison's fingerprints are all over the crime scene.
Murder on Milverton Square is the first in a cozy mystery series set in an enchanting small town nestled amongst stunning New Zealand scenery. The Milverton Mysteries features a chaotic cast of local busybodies, delicious baked treats, a demanding and disdainful ginger cat, a very slow-burn romance with a rather appealing policeman, and of course, murder.

“Charming characters populate this delightful series debut, wonderfully narrated by Philip Battley…Battley delivers the local community of elderly gossips, Addison’s uncle’s imperious orange cat, and the simmering attraction between Addison and Jake with an appropriately lighthearted air. As Addison grows fonder of the town and its people, Battley’s performance makes clear that he’ll stay in Milverton, at least long enough for the next installment of this entertaining cozy mystery.”
