Love a good mystery? So do I.Thanks for taking the time to visit my author page. You’ll see all my books are murder mysteries – because golden age whodunnits are the stories I enjoy reading most.I love to create memorable characters and devise intriguing plots with a focus on mystery rather than violence.And, after a journey full of twists and turns, the final chapters reveal all – so you can read each book as a standalone novel (even the Iris Woodmore Mysteries, although the characters develop as the series progresses).I live in Hampshire, England, and it’s the setting for many of my books. My standalone novel, Murder at Merewood Hospital, features Sister Helen Hopgood, the last nurse left in a military hospital in Hampshire at the end of the First World War.I also have family connections to Devon, and the fourth Iris Woodmore Mystery, A Killing at Smugglers Cove, is set on the south coast of Devon in 1923. Iris is back in her native Hampshire for A Corpse in Christmas Close, set in Winchester over Christmas 1923.I hope you enjoy reading or listening to my books - and I'd be thrilled if you left a review or rating. Just a few words on how the story made you feel would be greatly appreciated.If you'd like to receive news on competitions, signed copies, latest releases, plus a free Iris Woodmore short story, 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐊𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐨 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐲🔪enter your email address here: https://bit.ly/MichelleSalterNews'A fabulous murder mystery with twists and turns that had me turning the pages faster and faster.'

A BRAND NEW festive historical cozy crime mystery from Michelle Salter
Christmas, 1923. When reporter Iris Woodmore is sent to cover the Prince of Wales’ visit to historic Winchester, she discovers more than just royal gossip.
The leading lady in Winchester Cathedral’s charity pantomime is found dead in mysterious circumstances. And the chief suspect is Cinderella’s handsome prince, played by Percy Baverstock’s younger brother, Freddie.
For the sake of the Baverstocks, Iris must investigate the murder, even though it means confronting an old enemy. And as the line between friend and foe blurs dangerously, she’s ensnared by someone she hoped she’d never see again…
