Description
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? Kate Shackleton has always loved solving puzzles. So who better to get to the bottom of Joshua's mysterious disappearance? But as Kate taps into the lives of the Bridgestead dwellers, she opens cracks that some would kill to keep closed...

        December 19, 2011
        Amateur sleuth Kate Shackleton, whose usual avocation is searching for servicemen who went missing during the Great War, faces a tight deadline in Brody’s stately second English historical (after 2010’s A Medal for Murder). In 1922, at the behest of Tabitha Braithwaite, an acquaintance of Kate’s from the days they were both with the Voluntary Aid Detachment, Kate must find Bridgestead mill owner Joshua Braithwaite, Tabitha’s father, who disappeared in 1916, before her wedding in five weeks to Hector Gawthorpe. Rumors abounded in the local wool mills at the time that guilt-ridden Joshua, a suspected womanizer, tried to drown himself after his soldier son was killed on the Somme. A further complication was his objection to Tabitha’s marrying the unemployed Hector, who may hold a clue to Joshua’s fate. Brody takes her time drawing together the missing threads of this mostly gentle cozy. Agent: Judith Murdoch, Judith Murdoch Literary Agency.

      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: Set in the mill town of Bridgestead in Yorkshire after WWI, this mystery has more twists and tangles than a skein of yarn in a losing battle with a cat. Young Kate Shackleton is asked by her friend Tabitha to make a last-ditch effort to find her long-lost father so he can walk Tabitha down the aisle on her wedding day. Brody's characters are thinly drawn, and she assumes the reader lacks the ability to connect the dots and draw conclusions. Nicola Barber's narration is inconsistent. She attempts to distinguish characters with her voice, but in dialogue the voices are often mismatched, making the one-dimensional characters even harder to tell apart.
