Description
The brand-new 1920 cosy mystery featuring the renowned dressmaker sleuth (Jemima Flowerday 3)
The third novel in the 1920s Jemima Flowerday series takes our dressmaker/amateur sleuth to a house party that is also a murder mystery weekend which turns real.
When couturire-turned-sleuth Jemima Flowerday accepts a last-minute invitation to a ‘Murder Weekend’ at Firebrace Court, a crumbling Devon mansion perched on a storm-lashed headland, she expects nothing more than champagne, theatrics, and the fun of playing the daughter of a fictitious duchess. The whole thing is meant to be ‘an absolute hoot’.
But the hoot turns to horror within hours. The arrival of Hal and Daisy Merriweather fabulously wealthy Texans lured to Firebrace by hints of Hals ancestral claim to the estate is as spectacular as their motorcar: a gleaming Bentley that skids on the rain-soaked drive and crashes into the ancient bridge. The structure collapses into the swollen stream below, revealing a mans skeleton tangled among the wreckage. And the discovery of a fresh murder turns the screw. The killer must be one of those within the house. Family member, staff or guest. This murder weekend is only too real.
