When Juno Browne returns to the gorgeous town of Ashburton after a brief holiday with her cousin Brian, she's relieved to find that no one has been murdered in her absence. But it's not long before Sandy Thomas, the local reporter, is brutally slain. And Olly, Juno's young friend, has accidentally caught the killing on camera.

Property developer Alastair Dunston, with whom the victim had been having an affair, is an obvious suspect. But the police investigation cannot link him to her murder... it seems that Juno's amateur sleuthing services will be called upon once again.

Death Comes to Dartmoor by Stephanie Austin is a thrilling tale that blends mystery and intrigue in the picturesque setting of Ashburton.
