The Mystery of the American Slug
(2023)(The second book in the Lady Darriby-Jones Mystery series)
A novel by CM Rawlins
Darriby Hall is famous for entertaining second-tier aristocrats, tales from distant lands and a dead body... every now and then.
England, 1926
When an American party of intellectuals, who boast of knowledge of a rare slug species, ask Lady Darriby-Jones to stay at Darriby Hall, she hesitantly agrees.
She is in for a rude awakening when one of them is found dead with a gunshot wound. She thought it would be a matter that might be swept under the carpet until she's identified as a suspect. It leads her to wonder:
Who's the trigger-happy culprit?
When did they turn into a slug-slayer?
How on earth did they pull off this shocking slug-icide?
And...
Why, oh why, would anyone shoot a slug savant?
With her reputation teetering on the brink of disgrace, Lady Darriby-Jones must reluctantly embrace her inner detective and ask more uncomfortable questions if she is to prove her innocence and find a cunning killer.
Failure to do so will lead to her good name being tarnished and a bumbling police chief dragging her behind bars.
Join Lady Darriby-Jones in this 1920s cozy mystery, a whimsical, laughter-inducing adventure where witty sleuthing meets eccentricity galore.
Perfect for fans of T. E. Kinsey, Verity Bright, and Lee Strauss.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
