Publisher Kathryn Taussig has acquired World rights to Murder at Castle Vyne and Murder at Raven’s Gate by Louise Marley. They will be released in autumn 2025 and summer 2026, respectively.
Louise began her publishing journey at Storm with the Raven’s Edge series, the first of which – Murder at Raven’s Edge – has been an audio bestseller. Murder at Raven’s Gate will be the fourth book to feature detectives Ben Taylor and Harriet March. Murder at Castle Vyne is a standalone cosy crime novel, but set in the same world as Raven’s Edge and with some crossover characters.
Kathryn Taussig said:
“Louise’s talent for crafting engaging mysteries with warmth and humour always impresses. I know her fans are going to be so excited to return to the world of Raven’s Edge this year with two fantastic new novels!”
Louise Marley said:
“I am thrilled to be working again with the brilliant Kathryn Taussig and the rest of the team at Storm.

In Murder at Raven’s Gate, DS Harriet March is about to discover that first dates can be truly murder after stumbling upon a dead body hidden in the shadow of a ruined gatehouse. In addition, my standalone mystery, Murder at Castle Vyne, has been offered a new home with Storm. Set in the same ‘universe’ as my English Village Mystery series, you may recognise a couple of the characters…”
