The Kinder Scout Killing
A Derbyshire Cozy Mystery — Flour Power Mysteries, Book 16
Where the High Ground Holds Its Secrets Longest
When two hundred walkers climb Kinder Scout to honour the historic 1932 mass trespass, the last thing anyone expects is murder. But on the windswept plateau — where the peat runs deep, the weather turns fast, and the land remembers everything — someone uses the chaos of the commemorative walk to silence a man who has fought for public access his entire life.
And Olivia Hall is standing only metres away when it happens.
A celebration becomes a crime scene. A community becomes a suspect list. And the moor becomes a maze of secrets.The Flour Power bakery has catered events in strange places before… but never on the highest point in the Peak District, never for two hundred hungry walkers, and never on the morning a respected access-rights campaigner is found dead in a grough with an injury no fall could explain.
With the weather closing in, visibility collapsing, and two hundred potential suspects trapped on the plateau, Olivia and DCI Callum Walsh must work fast — before the killer disappears into the mist.
But this time, the clues are stranger than ever:
• A pair of mismatched walking poles • A photographer whose images hold the only timeline that matters • A land consultant with everything to lose • A political battle decades in the making • And a motive rooted deep in the moor’s contested history
As the investigation unfolds, loyalties fracture, old grievances surface, and the truth becomes as treacherous as Kinder’s peat bogs. Every walker has a story. Every story has a gap. And someone on that hill knows exactly why Martin Calder had to die.
This is the final Flour Power investigation — and the moor will not give up its secrets easily.Expect warm oatcakes, dark rye bread, Edale flapjack, and the comforting rhythms of Olivia’s kitchen… contrasted with the stark, unforgiving beauty of the Dark Peak.
This is a mystery about land, legacy, and the people who fight for both — wrapped in the gentle tension, emotional depth, and atmospheric landscapes readers love.
Perfect for fans of:
Step onto the plateau. Feel the wind. Follow the clues. And discover why some secrets stay buried… until the land itself decides otherwise.
