Murder in the Castle: A 1920s Cozy Mystery (Lady Felicity Quick Mystery)

A remote English castle. A decades-old family rift. And a deadly apple crumble. Can a bold young sleuth uncover the truth to heal the past and protect her future with the man she loves? England, 1922. Celebrated detective Lady Felicity Quick dreams of marrying gallant journalist Mr Alexander Cooper. But before they can make their courtship official, there’s a family tradition to fulfil — and a long-held grudge to unravel… As a step towards upholding the ancient custom, Felicity must meet her Great-Aunt Winnifred for the first time. Rumoured to commune with spirits, the estranged aunt inhabits a foreboding fortress surrounded by peculiar pets and even odder people. The welcome Felicity and Alex receive at the castle is surprisingly warm — until death arrives with dessert! Racing against time, Felicity must investigate old grievances, expose murderous motives, and decode the testimony of an animal witness — before she and Alex are framed as the wrong-doers!
