Murder of a Man Beyond Reproach
(2026)(The sixth book in the Lady Margot Blackwell Mystery series)
A novel by Amber Crewes
Polite lies are expected. Murder is not!London society prides itself on knowing exactly who to trust.
So when a man renowned for his impeccable manners, charitable influence, and moral authority dies under circumstances everyone would prefer not to examine too closely, the consensus is swift: this is not a matter for questions.
Unfortunately, Lady Margot Blackwell has never been very good at accepting consensus.
Visiting her formidable aunt during a week crammed with committees, receptions, and well-meaning gentlemen determined to manage her future, Margot finds herself drawn into a death that smells faintly of lavender, polished wood—and deception. With reputations at stake and silence strongly encouraged, it quickly becomes clear that discretion, not justice, is the order of the day.
Armed with intelligence, impeccable timing, and the unwavering loyalty of her sharp-tongued lady’s maid Stella Wickham, Margot begins asking the sort of questions that unsettle polite society. But when disapproval turns into pressure, and pressure into quiet threats, she discovers that exposing the truth may cost more than social approval. In a city where respectability is a weapon, curiosity is a dangerous habit.
Witty, elegant, and delightfully suspenseful, Murder of a Man Beyond Reproach is a charming historical cosy mystery in the tradition of Agatha Christie and Rhys Bowen—where the tea is strong, the manners are impeccable, and murder hides behind a very convincing smile.
