The Chester Grand Murders
(2026)(Book 17 in the Heathcliff Lennox series)
A novel by Karen Baugh Menuhin
Murder, mystery and a dog of distinction.
Heathcliff Lennox investigates.
When three wealthy hoteliers die within months of one another – each death neat, tidy, and labelled an accident – the seven surviving members of the Grand Proprietors’ Syndicate are no longer convinced of coincidence.
Summoned to the opulent Grand Hotel in the heart of Chester, Major Heathcliff Lennox and ex Inspector Swift find a luxury building running with understated efficiency under the formidable Miss Martin – known behind her back, and never to her face, as ‘Miss Martinet.’ The staff whisper nervously, the corridors echo with unease, and the syndicate’s aristocratic members demand answers before one of them becomes the next casualty. The investigation leads Lennox and Swift through a maze of old grudges, romantic intrigue, and whispered scandals.
Each of the three dead men carried a secret, and someone has been quietly, ruthlessly, settling old scores. As tensions rise and another death looms, Lennox must uncover the truth hidden behind the hotel’s gleaming façade – before the murderer strikes again.
A classic Golden Age mystery set amid wealth, treachery, and shadows of the past.
Major Heathcliff Lennox - ex WW1 war pilot, 6feet 3inch, tousled dark blond hair, age around 30 – named after the hero of Wuthering Heights by his romantically minded mother – much to his great annoyance.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
