Book Summary and Reviews of Murder at the Mill by M.B. Shaw

Media Reviews

"Starred Review. Pseudonymous Shaw, who under her given name of Tilly Bagshawe writes her own novels and inherited the late Sidney Sheldon's franchise...makes a smooth transition to the world of puzzlers." - Kirkus

"Although attentive readers might identify the perpetrator, the principled, smart, and courageous Iris is bound to garner enthusiastic fans." - Publishers Weekly

"Complicated relationships create a strong backdrop for a complex mystery, and one hopes, the foundation for more books to come." - Library Journal

"Murder at the Mill by M. B. Shaw is a great sweeping adventure. Ideal for holiday reading." - M. C. Beaton, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author

"M.B. Shaw has penned a wonderfully layered mystery with a multifaceted amateur sleuth, artist Iris Grey.

I can't wait to see where Iris Grey's next artistic commission takes us." - Paige Shelton, New York Times bestselling author

"Be sure to start reading M.B. Shaw's evocatively written mystery early in the day, or else you'll be up late into the night - it's that unputdownable." - Ellen Crosby, author of The Vineyard Victims

"A festering box of secrets, providing a Christmas cocktail of family lies and deliciously conceived murder." - Mandy Morton, author of The No. 2 Feline Detective Agency series
