A Spiffing Murder

A Spiffing Murder
About the Book

A single bite was all it took to turn a lavish celebration into a deadly mystery.

Step into the enchanting yet treacherous world of 1920s England with A Spiffing Murder, where celebrated amateur sleuth, the Dowager Duchess of Drakeford, and her sharp-eyed ward, Rex, are thrust into a web of intrigue and danger at the opulent Hilltop estate.

When Sir Herbert Cummings’s chief accountant, Farrier, collapses after a single bite of cake during a high-society gathering, what seemed like a tragic accident quickly hints at something more sinister. Joined by Scotland Yard’s finest, Detective Inspector Arthur Whipple, the Dowager and Rex uncover secrets lurking beneath the estate’s polished surface. As alliances fracture, the trio navigates class rivalries, personal vendettas, and buried motives among a colourful cast of suspects, each hiding dark secrets of their own.

With the guests confined and a killer on the loose, can they catch the culprit before another victim falls? Join the Dowager, Rex, and Whipple on a delightfully puzzling journey, where the only thing sharper than the cake knives are the secrets hidden behind every door. Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with a touch of British charm and 1920s humour!
