In the Moors, Reduced on Kindle!

My first crime fiction novel, In the Moors was released in 2013, and since then, the Kindle version has been running at around £7.99. But now, it's up on Amazon at the most affordable price of 99p!

This is great news for fans of The Shaman Mystery Series –– and even better news for lovers of mystery fiction, thrillers, and books with a dark  spooky edge, who have not already started to enjoy Sabbie Dare's adventures.

Set in Somerset, the story revolves around Sabbie Dare, a 28 year old Shamanic therapist, who lives in Bridgwater. She sometimes wonders what she’s doing in this ancient market town, offering complementary therapies and living with a low carbon footprint – she’s a city girl at heart, a party animal of mixed race and lost parentage.

The windswept Somerset Moors are the focus of NIna's latest novel

Sabbie wakes up one morning from a nightmare to find it’s come true – a fox has raided her chickens – she supplements her earnings with a bit of self-sufficiency. She’s hoping that new boyfriend Ivan will help her repair the hen house, but he’s more keen on shooting the fox.

She’s expecting a client at 10am, but a Detective Sergeant arrives instead. Reynold Buckley is seems to be the archetypal humourless, if slightly maverick policeman, and their relationship begins like an upmarket cocktail – bitter and full of ice, but with a sparkler fizzing at the edge. He clearly thinks her profession is ‘mumbo jumbo’, and assumes she will tell him everything she knows about her client, Cliff Houghton, who is at present being questioned at Bridgewater Police station.

Sabbie is shocked to find Cliff has been arrested in relation to the discovery of a child’s body buried in the wilds of the Somerset Moors. So shocked, in fact, that Sabbie decides to fight for Cliff’s innocence...even though investigating this dreadful crime will lead her into life-threatening danger...

Kirkus Reviews says… Milton’s adult debut creates a mystical world in which the secret to a missing child may be locked in the subconscious of a leading suspect…A fast-moving thriller likely to draw in readers despite, or perhaps because of, its bizarre heroin

Library Journal, gave In the Moors a starred review!…Sabbie Dare is the most compelling protagonist I’ve met this year, and Milton’s tale is riveting. Perhaps readers will figure things out before Sabbie does, but the visceral suspense Milton creates is commendable, not to mention terrifying. I like pairing her work with Elly Griffiths’s atmospheric English mysteries.

Ronald Hutton, author of Shaman and The Triumph of the Moon  endorses the Shaman Mystery Series...Nina Milton has created a unique fictional world in her Shaman Mystery Series,  featuring Sabbie Dare as a young shaman.  They each have a cracking pace and convey the evocative landscapes of Somerset.  Always, the depictions of shamanic journeying are vivid and authentic.

In the Moors is downloadable from the Amazon web site, but you don’t have to have a Kindle — these books can be read on most computers, tablets and mobile phones if you have the right app installed. Why not start from the beginning and read that very first Shaman Mystery for less than £1?
