Head kitchen maid Joan Hart and lady’s maid Verity Hunter have seen enough of the household’s secrets to know appearances can deceive. As whispers spread through the servants’ hall and tensions rise upstairs, the two women begin their own investigation.
But in a world of hidden motives and ruthless ambition, uncovering the truth is a dangerous game. Can Joan and Verity expose a cunning killer before they become the next victims?
Murder at Merisham Lodge is the unputdownable first book in a new 1930s historical cozy mystery series—perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Jacqueline Winspear, and classic British whodunits.
