Celia Miles has published another Marcy Dehanne Grist Mill Mystery

 

Celia enthralls her readers and fans with her mystery novels. 

Celia Miles, a native of western North Carolina, lives and writes from Asheville
She writes in various genres and her fiction—all women-oriented—reflects her interests in old grist mills and Neolithic sites around the world.

She attended Brevard and Berea Colleges and has graduate degrees from UNC-Chapel Hill and IUP in Pennsylvania. She taught at Brevard College and retired
 from Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College as an instructor.

Celia Miles, 

Three of Celia's clean and cozy mysteries feature intrepid Marcy Dehanne, an instructor turned grist mill consultant, who finds that old mills too often harbor a dead body: The Body at Wrapp's Mill; The Body at StarShine Mill; and, 2020, The Skeleton at the Old Painted Mill.

Now a new book follows Marcy Dehanne and it is set in a grist mill. I know we all want to see what is going to happen to Marcy now.
