Synopsis

A mansion, a title and marriage to a wealthy Lord—Lady Eveline Cartwright has it all. Unfortunately, it's not enough to prevent her being bludgeoned to death one night in the study of Merisham Lodge, the family's country estate in Derbyshire.

Suspicion quickly falls on her ne'er-do-well son, Peter, but not everyone in the household is convinced of his guilt. Head kitchen maid Joan Hart and lady's maid, Verity Hunter, know that when it comes to a crime, all is not always as it seems.

With suspicions and motives thick on the ground, Joan and Verity must use all the wit and courage they possess to expose a deadly murderer who will stop at nothing to achieve their aim . . .

Goodreads review by Harriet on September 20, 2020

This is an enjoyable country house murder mystery, free from a lot of gore. It was just the thing I was in the mood for on a quiet afternoon and short enough to read in one sitting. Joan Hart is under cook in the house of the wealthy Cartwright family and her best friend, Verity, is maid to the daug......more

Goodreads review by Lynda on January 09, 2021

I made it 24% into this but I've called time as it really isn't for me, to be honest. I'm a huge fan of the author's Kate Redman series, which is just terrific, and really downloaded this on the back of liking that so much.
