The Westminster Murders
(2024)(The eighth book in the Camille Divine Murder Mystery series)
A novel by Andrea Hicks
NEW YEAR 1925
In the smoke-filled parlours and dimly lit corridors of 1920s London, political intrigue and whispers of scandal grip the Palace of Westminster. When a respected Member of Parliament is discovered hanging in his office, the echoes of his last moments reverberate through the grand halls. Knolly and Aaron Kaplan find the hanged body of Jeremy Styles and are equally shocked and devastated. This was not how their much anticipated visit to The Houses of Parliament was meant to draw to a close.
Chief Inspector Richard Owen, a man with a mind as sharp as his impeccably tailored suits, takes charge of the investigation. Yet, sensing the labyrinth of political webs at play, he seeks an unusual ally—Camille, a woman with an insider's view into the secretive world of Parliament, courtesy of her estranged husband, Lord Henry Divine.
As Camille navigates the complexities of privilege and power, the team delves into a realm where loyalty is a commodity and secrets are the currency of survival. The question looms large: Was it a desperate act of self-destruction, or is there a more sinister force manipulating the strings behind the velvet curtains of Westminster?
In "The Westminster Murders," alliances will be tested, scandals will surface, and the line between politics and personal vendettas will blur. As the clock ticks, Camille and her unlikely comrades must unravel a web of deceit before the halls of power claim another victim. Will they unveil the truth, or will the shadows of political machinations shroud the real killer forever? Step into the world where whispers carry as much weight as a well-tailored suit, and every secret has its price.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
