Assistant Editor Naomi Knox has acquired World All Language rights in e-book, paperback and audio, including film and TV, for the next book in Louise Marley’s English Village Mystery series.

Building on the rich atmosphere and intrigue of the series, Louise returns with another gripping mystery that draws readers deep into the heart of village life where the past is never quite at rest. This new instalment blends the familiar charm of a close-knit community with the shadowy undercurrents that run beneath it.

Louise says:

“I’m thrilled to be working with Naomi Knox to publish another English Village Mystery set in the very quirky Raven’s Edge. It’s also lovely to work with the team at Storm again, who are very professional and author-friendly, and Naomi’s enthusiasm has been incredibly inspiring. I’ve had so much fun creating this strange little village over the past two years, I can’t wait to write another story set there!”

Naomi says:

“I’m absolutely delighted to be working with Louise on another English Village Mystery. Her writing is wonderfully evocative – full of atmosphere, heart and a razor-sharp plot. Her balance of classic mystery and modern character depth is absolutely irresistible. Readers are in for another beautifully crafted, twist-filled story with characters we all know and love.”
