Murder at Ravenswood House: A totally gripping English cozy murder mystery (An English Village Mystery Book 2) Kindle Edition
A shocking murder in charming Raven’s Edge sends Milla Graham sleuthing to catch a killer, win back her detective ex-boyfriend, and dig up a decades-old secret along the way...
When a gruesome murder rocks the picture-perfect English village of Raven’s Edge, erstwhile amateur detective Milla Graham finds herself right at the centre of the mystery. Still reeling from her recent breakup with local police officer Ben Taylor, Milla sets her sights on solving the case, hoping to win Ben back.
But when the evidence begins to point to Milla’s old friend and former paramour Lorcan Black, she must choose between her loyalties to the past and the possibilities of the future. Meanwhile, Ben is on a different trail – he’s begun to suspect that the murderer could be someone from his own family's dark history.
Further complicating matters are Milla's meddling grandmother, Ben's no-nonsense police partner Harriet, and David the surprisingly young and sexy new vicar. With shocking twists around every cobblestone corner, the truth refuses to stay buried for long in this quaint village, whose picture-postcard façade hides decades of buried grudges, plots, and betrayal.
Will Milla solve the mystery in time to rescue her relationship with Ben? Can Ben face the skeletons in his family’s closet before one of his own relatives meets the same bloody end?
Brimming with drama, intrigue, romance and quirky characters, this addictive tale will have cozy mystery fans racing through the pages long into the night. Fans of M.C. Beaton, Faith Martin and Fiona Leitch will love this book!

About the author
Most of my stories are set in small villages filled with quirky characters. These are partly inspired by the places I’ve lived in over the years, although the characters are straight out of my imagination! I currently live in Wales, close to a famous library and two ruined castles. My husband thinks we moved here by accident.
My first published novel was Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, which was a finalist in Poolbeg’s Write a Bestseller competition. As well as nine novels, I’ve written short stories for women’s magazines such as Take a Break and My Weekly. Before becoming a full-time writer, I worked as an administrative officer for the police.
When I’m not writing, I enjoy visiting big old houses, which I use as inspiration for the houses in my novels, and reading other people’s books when I ought to be writing my own…

Milla's old friend (and ex-boyfriend) Lorcan Black has some secrets of his own. This was my favorite part of the story; seeing how these secrets came to light and were connected with the home Lorcan moved into and other character connections. I found this novel more enjoyable than the first, and did not see the ending coming!
This is book two in the series, though it's not critical to have ready book one to follow the story. Thanks to NetGalley, Storm Publishing and Louise Marley for the ARC.
I enjoyed this book more than the first one since I knew a little bit more about the characters. It was another mystery for Ben and Milla to solve with help from other characters from the town. There were a few twists and turns in this one and a perfect surprise ending.
Will there be a third book – can’t wait to find out!

A body has been found in town in a gruesome manner and the clues are misleading. DI Ben Taylor has distanced himself from his dodgy family but this case seems to be linked to the Elliots’ past. Ben and Milla have broken up over her dishonesty and they are both miserable.
I enjoy this author very much. She tells the story in the present and past and it is very absorbing. I did not figure out the murderer - a very well constructed mystery.

Murder at Ravenswood House is the second book in Marley's English Village Mystery series, which is a British Cozy-ish Mystery that features a music journalist who finds herself at odds with her policeman boyfriend. It has many twists and turns, a mystery that balances the suspects, clues and red herrings and will leave you pondering the whodunit until the final reveal. It kept me guessing until the final page! A great follow-up to the first book. I'm looking forward to book 3.

Many thanks to #MurderatRavenswoodHouse #NetGalley and #StormPublishing for providing me with an E-ARC of this book.
I thought Ben was smart and liked how he didn't jump to conclusions even when what happened seemed obvious.
It did drag a bit in the middle for me, and I think if I had read the first book I would have been able to understand Mila's actions and motivations a bit better which did have me confused during parts of the story. I did really enjoy uncovering all the info about Ben's family and his past, and thought the mystery was well plotted and I didn't figure it out until it was revealed.
I will definitely go back and read book one, and be reading any future installments in this series.
