Juno Browne 1
Dead in Devon is a murder mystery set on Dartmoor in the historic moorland town of Ashburton. Domestic Goddess, Juno Browne, ventures into the world of antiques when she begins working for Old Nick, a dealer with a murky past and a shady reputation. She is drawn into the fascinating but risky world of antique fairs and auctions and soon falls foul of one of his more unpleasant customers, the mysterious and menacing Russian, Vlad. But when Nick is brutally murdered it seems that Vlad is not the only with a motive for killing him.
Can Nick’s own family be trusted? And what is everyone searching for? When Juno discovers that she has inherited Nick’s run-down antiques and another dealer meets with a nasty end, she finds herself in danger and realises she must find Nick’s killer before she becomes his next victim.
