The Countess's Deadly Discovery
(2020)(The sixth book in the Discreet Investigations of Lord and Lady Calaway series)
A novel by Issy Brooke
Did the Countess of Calaway’s innocent letter of enquiry cause a murder?
When the body of a young craftsman is found dead, he is surrounded by articles belonging to an ancient local family which has sunk into decline. But those valuables went missing decades ago; this isn’t a straightforward case of theft gone wrong.
As Lord and Lady Calaway investigate, they discover that what was stolen goes beyond silver cigar cases and fancy boxes. Names, identities, and even a man’s wife: a whole future has been taken and the victim didn’t seem to realise it.
Theodore fights for justice, because he’s on the side of right.
But Adelia fights for her conscience, because as the truth unravels, she realises she may have been wrong…
How do you bring about true justice when everyone is guilty of something – even the detectives?
