Lady Clues and the Murder at Mayfair Manor
(2027)(The fourth book in the Lady Clues Case Files series)
A novel by Ava Ness
Two brilliant minds. One impossible murder. And a killer who's made a fatal mistake.When Lady Clues receives an invitation to a charity ball at Mayfair Manor in Yorkshire, she's intrigued—not by the promise of champagne and dancing, but by the chance to meet the estate's remarkable owner. Lady Marigold Grey has earned quite a reputation as an amateur detective, and Lady Clues is eager to see if she might be a potential partner in her high society lady detective business.
The evening begins beautifully. The manor is magnificent, the company refined, and Lady Marigold proves to be as sharp-witted as her reputation suggested. But when a prominent philanthropist is found dead in the conservatory—poisoned during the ball—the festivities come to an abrupt end.
With a house full of charitable donors, society guests, and local gentry, the suspects are numerous and the motives murky. The local inspector is out of his depth, and Lady Marigold, though capable, finds herself personally connected to too many of the guests. She needs someone with fresh eyes and an outsider's perspective. She needs Lady Clues.
Together, the two detectives must navigate Yorkshire society's tangled relationships, sort genuine grief from calculated performance, and expose a murderer who believed a crowded ballroom was the perfect place to commit the perfect crime.
Perfect for fans of historical mysteries, clever female sleuths, and golden age detective partnerships.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
