Invitation to Murder
(2027)(The eighth book in the Spencer & Reid Mysteries series)
A novel by Cara Devlin
When newlyweds Leonora and Jasper Reid are left off the guest list for a house party celebrating Lord Oliver Hayes’ recent engagement, they aren’t disappointed—they’re more than satisfied to be basking in the glow of their own recent wedding. But a cryptic telegram urging that they rush to Oliver’s countryside manor changes everything, and Jasper and Leo set out for Kent to see what the disturbance may be.
Their arrival, however, perplexes Oliver. The viscount insists he never sent for them—and yet, an inspector is needed. A guest has been missing for hours, and with the discovery of a body, and the vanishing of a second guest, Leo and Jasper begin to question if a member of Oliver’s house party is responsible.
With a dozen suspects assembled in one manor, the puzzle of determining motive and opportunity becomes a game of logic. Far from London and challenged at every turn by a combative local police inspector, Leo and Jasper must work closely to discover who summoned them to the manor and why, before the killer—or killers—can target another victim.
Invitation to Murderis the eighth book in Cara Devlin’s romantic historical mystery series set in Victorian London. The Spencer & Reid Mysteries are perfect for fans of Miss Scarlet & the Duke, and readers of Irina Shapiro and Deanna Raybourn.
