Summer Death at Merangs
(2025)(The fifth book in the Merang Mystery series)
A novel by Carole Marples
What's your poison? Cocktails will be the death of me!
It's a balmy summer evening, and I'm living the high life at Buttersley Manor, a special guest of the Dowager Lady Ram. I'm wearing an exquisite vintage dress, and the cocktails are to die for.
But beneath the veneer of gentility runs a sewer of secrets and lies. Sir Galahad enjoys trysts in the rose garden with his glamorous secretary, his wife has a fondness for sharp objects, and the dowager's son is drowning in debt.
In the stifling heat, tempers flare, and I'm drinking far too much gin. Little do I know, it's laced with poison.
I awake from the longest sleep ever, with a killer hangover, and the news that my dear old friend is dead. This was no accident.
Driven by grief and fury, I’m determined to uncover the truth—even if it means stepping straight into danger. Because someone at Buttersley Manor is a killer, and they’ve already made one mistake. They let me live!
The Murder Before Merangs is one of a series of culinary cozy mysteries featuring amateur sleuth, Helen Merang and her cast of quirky friends. Each book leads to the next, but can also be read as a standalone. Written in British English with a few sweary words, mild profanity and peril. Click now to meet the Merangs gang.
