    Julia finds Hugo's dead body the next day. She makes her own investigations into Hugo's death and soon discovers that his assistant, Dinah, and his brother, Gilbert have strong motives for killing him.

    Death Takes A Trip
    When one of Julia's elderly clients, Douglas Pedley, is found dead at the bottom of his stairs, it is soon obvious that he was murdered.
    Julia first suspects the building contractors who have been hounding Douglas to sell his land and property. It's not long before another suspect appears.
    Julia is determined to find out who murdered the old man.

    A Fair Murder
    In this story, Julia helps out at the school fair for a local school. The new headteacher, Deborah Paignton has made herself unpopular by implementing changes to the school and continually upsetting members of staff.
    Julia discovers the murdered body of Deborah Paignton after the fair has finished. She knows immediately there is more than one person who would have liked to see the end of Deborah.

    Death Shows Up
    Julia provides moral support for her friend, Louisa, as they go to a slimming club meeting. They are shocked to discover that the slimming club venue has been taken over by the local amateur dramatics group. 
    The am-dram group are performing a play written by the enigmatic Brandon Briggs. Julia soon suspects that Louisa and Brandon have a secret past. At the next meeting, Julia finds Brandon's murdered body hidden in a costume room.

    Murder Makes A Claim
    Julia agrees to cover some cleaning work for a friend. The cleaning work takes her and her colleague, Cain, to the offices of Inkwell's Insurance in Leeds.
    It isn't long before Julia and Cain discover the dead body of Karl Rayburn, the manager at Inkwell's Insurance. They find out that everyone has a secret when it comes to their relationship with Karl. Julia is reluctant to get herself involved. But she soon realises she has no option but to make her own enquiries to find out who the killer is.

    Knitting And Murder
    Julia's colleague, Cain, asks for her help in a love matter. He's met a young woman called Kayla at his knitting class. He likes Kayla and wants to know if she feels the same way. He can't tell how Kayla feels about him and asks Julia to come along to the knitting class to meet her. 
    Everything goes well until a member of the knitting class is found murdered the next morning. It's not long before Julia discovers Kayla is a murder suspect. She can't tell Cain this. She has no option but to make discreet investigations into the murder case.

    Murder At The Spa
    In this story, Julia goes on a spa break with her mum. They look forward to relaxing and being pampered. Julia is particularly excited to experience the new chocolate therapy sessions, and her therapist, Erin, assures her it will be a wonderful experience.
    It is not a wonderful experience as Julia soon discovers a body in the chocolate floatation tank. She is happy to leave the investigation to the police, but her new friend has other ideas.

    Gillian Larkin

    I'm an avid fan of mystery stories. I started reading Agatha Christie novels at an early age. My favourite fiction detective is Poirot, I love his fussy ways and his attention to small details. I love the TV series, 'Murder She Wrote' and have watched every episode. I like working out who the killer is, and what the clues are. I live near Leeds, Yorkshire, which is in the north of England. My two daughters live with me and they are understanding about my passion for mystery shows! I've now discovered 'Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries'. I've been wanting to write my own mystery stories for years - and now I finally have.
