Mister Mottley and the Dying Fall (Mottley & Baker Mysteries Book 2) Kindle Edition
Edmund Mottley, Specialist in Discreet Enquiries, is in a precarious position: his old flame Susan needs his help. Her new fiance is accused of murder, and she wants Mottley to clear his name.
Mottley would rather jump off a cliff than get involved, but when Susan is threatened by a shadowy crime syndicate, Mottley leaps to her aid.
Mottley and Baker, his intrepid valet, pursue the case to an island of otherworldly beauty. But the island is haunted by secrets, treachery, madness, and ... something more.
Every clue crumbles under their feet, pushing Mottley's powers of deduction -- and Baker's loyalty -- to the limit. With his own life on the line, can Mottley save Susan before time runs out?
The Mottley & Baker Mysteries are classic whodunnits set in the Golden Age of 1930's traditional detectives. If you like Miss Marple's pastoral puzzles or Albert Campion's rollicking adventures, you'll fall hard for this cozy historical mystery adventure.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2018Cleverly written with many surprising twists. No dull moments. Well worth a read.
I will be searching out the first book in the series (this is the second, I believe), and look forward to following these characters for, I hope, years to come.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2017This was a fun book to read. I'll be honest, I wasn't totally sure about it when I picked it up. I've read a LOT of cozy mysteries this year and I wanted on one hand to hope that this one would be different, but on the other hand, I didn't want to get my hopes up too much, lest the book not live up to it. I need not have worried. Mr. Mottley & the Dying Fall was a great book and really fun to read.
This book reminded me a lot of an Agatha Christie novel in its styling and I liked that. Everyone had secrets they didn't wish to tell, not just one or two people. It made the suspect field very broad and I never did figure it out until it was revealed at the end!
I like the characters. Mr. Mottley and Baker have gotten under my skin and I will definitely be reading more of the series! I highly recommend this to those who enjoy Agatha Christie's style of writing. It was great!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2017This book did not disappoint. It was as good as the first one and I hope the rest to follow are as good. A gentleman, his valet and a mystery, what more could you want.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2018I am loving this series. It's like watching an old 30's/40's black & white mystery movie. Stunning plot. Great characters. A great way to relax and while away the afternoon.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2017The author successfully weaved murder and intrigue with mayhem to create a delightful and enjoyable mystery that will keep you on your seat the entire read. You will also find yourself laughing at Mottley’s (and Baker’s) antics throughout the book bringing just the right amount of lightheartedness. Make sure you complete any pressing matters before picking up this book. Once you enter the mystery, you will not want to put it down until its conclusion. I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of predicaments Mottley manages to get himself into in future installments of the series.
I received an advance copy of this book in return for a voluntary honest review.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2017It is difficult to overstate my admiration for this book, a worthy successor to the superb Mister Mottley Gets His Man. The writing is wonderfully intelligent and there is an excellent balance of puzzling mystery and breathtaking physical action, with a touch of the supernatural to give a frisson. I enjoyed the setting on an island that becomes increasingly isolated and the array of interesting characters, some more eccentric than others.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2017This mystery is entertaining and fast paced. The characters are likable and engaging.
