Death Comes to Firebrace Court: The brand-new 1920 cosy mystery featuring the renowned dressmaker sleuth (Jemima Flowerday 3)

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 Hal’s 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.
