British Manor Murder

About the book

It’s a chilly spring in Tinker’s Cove, Maine, and Lucy Stone is excited to travel to England with her friend Sue for a hat exhibition. However, at Moreton Manor, luxury living isn’t always easy.

Despite the Earl and his sister being welcoming to their tired guests, Lucy can't shake a feeling of unease when a portrait falls and whispers of a family curse begin. Things go downhill quickly - snooty Aunt Millicent and her servant Harrison show up unexpectedly for the exhibition, and meals with the family are strained. But things take a deadly turn when a body is discovered, beaten with the chapel’s ornate reliquary, in a hidden room that was sealed off.

Even more bizarre is the fact that the victim is identified as Harrison’s son, Cyril. Though Cyril was not exactly a model citizen, and his motives for being on the property are unclear, one thing is certain - the murderer knows the secrets of Moreton Manor. Lucy suspects that the killer has been in her midst all along, biding their time to strike again...
