A Corpse in a Locked Room

One family reunion, a horde of impossible relatives, and a corpse in a locked room.

When private detective Izzy Palmer is summoned to a lavish party in a grand stately home, she must deal with a host of painful memories from her past. But have her bratty cousins and their vain mother really changed as they claim, or is it just another trick?

After a member of the party is murdered in a room locked from the outside, Izzy has to question all she thought she knew about her family to get to the truth. With so many duplicitous relatives around and her mother a suspect, it's impossible to know who she can trust.

A heartfelt and hilarious (reverse) locked-room mystery, featuring a twisting finale that will leave you stunned and a cast of eccentric characters - from swindling uncles to pompous... urmmm, great-uncles. "A Corpse in a Locked Room" is Izzy's sixth full-length mystery.
