Book Description
A well-known Norfolk author is rumoured to be up to his neck in dark deeds. When his nemesis goes missing, it starts to look like there’s only one person responsible. But is all what it seems? Daisy decides she has to know for sure, and there’s only one way to do that! Jolyon Prendegast, a multi-million-selling author of gothic horror novels, is Norfolk-based, and living in a gothic-style manor not so far from Great Wiltingham. But he’s about to be exposed… Abbie Drake, an investigative reporter, is well known for her devotion to exposing all things suspect. She’s had her teeth into Prendegast for a while, claiming he didn’t write any of his books. Her weekly podcast, ‘The Terrier Times’, is followed by a lot of people. At the end of her latest episode, she hints that she’s about to expose Prendegast for far darker deeds than she first thought, and she’d reveal all in the next podcast. That podcast never appears. Already suspicious, the Poppleswick Pensioners take it upon themselves to investigate, visiting the manor to confront the man. Needless to say they don’t get very far, but refusing to give up, things go scarily downhill for the terrible twosome. In the meantime, Sarah asks Daisy for help with a possibly-missing person Burrows doesn’t have time to look into. That person is Abbie Drake, who also lives in Great Wiltingham. The plot thickens on both sides… Maisie and Doris become ever more convinced Prendegast is responsible for all kinds of horrors, and as Daisy and Aidan delve into Abbie’s disappearance, those circumstances quickly become darker too. But is all as it seems? Is the truth fact or fiction? With no hard evidence, Daisy decides there’s only one way to find out for sure, and it’s not exactly risk-free! Enjoy!

Unfortunately, it’s curtains down on the dysfunctional diva when she’s found dead at the bottom of a staircase in her elegant home. Solving an opera singer’s murder may not be the typical hairdresser’s aria of expertise. But Dame Serena was the mother of Daisy’s best friend Floria, so Daisy must do-or-dye her best to get to the roots of the case. When a priceless Modigliani painting in the house is reported missing, the mystery gets even more tangled. Even though the gruff but handsome Detective Inspector Paul McGuinness tells the stylist to stay out of his hair, Daisy is determined to make sure the killer faces a stern makeover—behind bars. “A promising debut with scads of interesting characters, a spirited heroine, and a hint of romance.” —Kirkus Reviews “Enjoyable…will appeal to readers of Elizabeth J. Duncan’s 'Penny Brannigan' mysteries.” —Library Journal “Death at a Country Mansion has more twists than a French braid.” —Sherry Harris “If you enjoy British manor houses, a touch of budding romance, and a good mystery (like I do), I highly recommend Death at a Country Mansion.” —Vikki Walton “A little romance, a little art history, and a gorgeous mansion . . . a page-turner that is fun and intriguing.” —ACF Bookens
