A Deadly Inheritance
Not yet published
Expected 17 Jan 27A contested inheritance. A family murder. And Lady Marigold Grey is the prime suspect.
When Lady Marigold receives word that her cousin Richard is contesting her inheritance of Mayfair Manor, she has no choice but to travel to London to defend her claim. After all, their late uncle's will was perfectly clear—or so she thought.
But Richard has hired the finest solicitors in London, and he's determined to prove Marigold has no right to the estate. As tensions rise over afternoon tea and heated negotiations, Marigold finds herself wishing her troublesome cousin would simply disappear.
She should have been more careful what she wished for.
When Richard is found murdered in his Mayfair townhouse—and Marigold was the last person seen leaving the premises—she becomes the most likely suspect. With her inheritance, her freedom, and her reputation all hanging in the balance, Marigold must navigate London's drawing rooms and back alleys to uncover the truth.
Someone wanted Richard silenced. But who stood to gain from his death? His bitter wife? His business partner with debts to hide? Or perhaps another family member with their own claim to Mayfair Manor?
To prove her innocence, Lady Marigold must solve her most dangerous mystery yet—before Scotland Yard decides the evidence against her is simply too compelling to ignore.
A light-hearted and charming 1920s cozy mystery. You'll be hooked from beginning till end reading the third book in the Lady Marigold's 1920s Murder Mystery series.
