A Mistake in Mill-Upon-Mortlake (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798231935130)

The village of Mill-Upon-Mortlake is in fine fettle over their cricket prospects, so much so that the upcoming match is rapidly taking on a festival air. Children are collecting for a bonfire and fireworks. The members of the cricket team are local heroes, and John Gainsworth is confident crime will leave him alone long enough to propose properly to his beloved partner in detection, Daphne Noble.

He's got a letter from Daphne's father giving his blessing tucked in his pocket, her grandmother waiting to welcome him into the family, and a garnet ring to match his fiery Miss Noble.

At least, he did-until the ring turns up missing on the night he plans to make his proposal official.

Someone in Mill-Upon-Mortlake has just made a horrid mistake, and Mr. Gainsworth won't rest until it's rectified and his ring is on Daphne's finger!

But this is one mystery he'll have to solve without Daphne unless he wants to ruin the surprise. Can Mr. Gainsworth, Bertie, and the bumbling Constable Cranford find the ring in time? Find out in this short, sweet novella that's a lighthearted look at the Mill-Upon-Mortlake historical cozy mysteries.
