This was the first book I have read by this author and it was a really enjoyable whodunnit that kept readers in suspense until the very end. I can imagine it will be the start of a series. The author wrote in quite an old fashioned style and it was a very relaxed read that fully held my attention. A lovely way to escape from the current depressing world. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me to read a copy of this book

January 1939. Amy Rowlings is a worker at the Handsley's Garment factory, known as The Mill. The day after the owner's son Edward attempted to assault her, he is found dead at the factory. D.I. Laws leads the investigation with D.S. Bodkin.
Because Amy solves murders in films before the detectives she believes she can solve the crime first. And so pushes herself into the case and Bodkin welcomes her interference.
An historical cozy mystery, enjoyable enough, though I didn't take to the character of Amy.
An ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley, T.A. Belshaw and BooksGoSocial for the book Murder At The Mill. This is my personal review.
Murder At The Mill is written to keep a person guessing who was the murderer. I so enjoy a murder mystery where the guilty person is hard to figure out.
The book is set in a clothing factory Mill where Amy works and when she stumbles into the investigation of the murder of the Mill owner’s son. She is asked for her knowledge of the local area by Detective Sergeant Bodkin who is new to the area.
When the man who is arrested for the murder, he is a family friend , and Amy knows he is not guilty she sets out to find the real killer.
This is the first in a new cozy mystery series - Amy Rowlings Mystery and it is an excellent start. I look forward to the next in the series.
