The Hop-Picker Murders (Morton #11)
When Molly Moon discovers her aunt’s discarded 1920 journal, hidden in the attic of her Kent cottage, she uncovers a chilling claim among its cryptic entries: that four missing hop-pickers, including her own uncle, were murdered. Desperate to learn the truth, Molly turns to forensic genealogist Morton Farrier for help. What begins as a challenging case soon becomes far more complex as Morton delves into a murky world of disappearance, deception, and murder—while battling an unknown menace bent on destroying his career.

This is the eleventh novel in the Morton Farrier genealogical crime mystery series, though it can also be enjoyed as a stand-alone story.
