Overview:
This seven-book paperback collection brings together the complete Devon Mysteries series by Stephanie Austin. Each title follows Juno Browne, an antiques dealer and part-time helper in the Devon town of Ashburton, as she becomes entangled in local crimes. The stories are set against the real landscapes of Dartmoor, the River Ashburn, and surrounding villages, combining everyday village life with unfolding murder investigations. Readers receive the full sequence of cases in one purchase, from the first appearance of recurring characters through to later instalments that build on earlier events. The set is presented in matching paperback format with the original UK ISBN, making it straightforward for collectors or new readers to start the series without hunting for individual titles.
What Makes This Collection Special:
The books are linked by the same central character and setting, so the reader follows Juno’s personal and professional life across multiple investigations. Each case introduces new suspects and local details while referencing earlier events, creating a continuous narrative thread. The collection therefore offers both individual mystery resolutions and the satisfaction of watching the town and its residents develop over time. Buying the set together removes the need to track down later volumes and ensures consistent editions, which is useful for readers who prefer to read straight through or to keep a uniform series on the shelf.
Books Included in This Collection:
Dead in Devon
Juno Browne takes on cleaning, dog-walking and caring for elderly residents in Ashburton while also entering the antiques trade. When she prevents two thugs from attacking her client Old Nick, she is drawn into the shady side of the business. After Nick is found dead, Juno starts her own enquiries even though the police investigation has stalled, putting herself at risk when one suspect is killed and she becomes a target.
A Devon Night's Death
Juno’s cash-flow problems lead her to rent a room above her shop to bookbinder Frank Tinkler. After she disturbs intruders at home, one of them falls to his death from a viaduct. Juno recognises the accomplice as Frank’s nephew Scott and decides to investigate whether the death was accident, suicide or murder.
The Dartmoor Murders
Juno buys a wardrobe for her antiques store and discovers a dead body inside. When the seller, farmer Fred Crick, is found murdered in his burning cottage, police hunt a double killer. A stranger who resembles the man in the wardrobe arrives and persuades Juno to help solve the case, with unexpected consequences.
A Devon Midwinter Murder
On a cold Sunday in Ashburton, Juno finds the body of Bob the Blacksmith with a sprig of elder in his hands. She notices connections to earlier deaths that others attribute to folklore, yet she follows the evidence through pagan ceremonies and astrological links that produce more victims before the truth emerges.
From Devon with Death
Juno finds a life-sized effigy floating in the River Ashburn with a note claiming it was made by the mythical Cutty Dyer. Police treat it as a joke until a woman’s body is discovered nearby. A prison officer’s murder raises suspicion around recently released inmate Luke Rowlands, forcing Juno to identify the real killer.
Death Comes to Dartmoor
Returning from holiday, Juno is relieved that Ashburton has remained quiet—until local journalist Sandy Thomas is brutally killed. The town is shaken and Juno is pulled into another investigation while trying to resume her normal routine at the antiques shop and as a domestic helper.
Dead on Dartmoor
After Juno’s van catches fire, she meets James Westershall, owner of Moorworthy Chase. She and her friends from Old Nick’s are invited to sell goods at a garden fete that also includes the new and irritating team member Gavin. When Gavin is later found dead in nearby woods, what looks like an accident draws Juno into one more case.
Who This Set Is Perfect For:
The collection suits readers who enjoy cosy crime novels set in small British towns, particularly those who like amateur-sleuth stories that combine antiques dealing, village life and Dartmoor scenery. It appeals to fans of series that develop across multiple books rather than standalone mysteries, and to anyone looking for a complete set of paperbacks to read in order
