Murder At Little Kettleby
(2026)(The ninth book in the Lady Elizabeth Hawthorne Mystery series)
A novel by Olivia Rose
Carols, candlelight, and a Christmas corpse.
Christmas 1924, and Lady Elizabeth, Meli and Winston are bound for Scotland when a blizzard descends upon the Yorkshire Dales — swallowing the line, silencing the telegraph wires, and driving the passengers of the northbound express into the village of Little Kettleby.
Among the stranded is Mortimer Bramwell, the new master of Hollybrook Hall, a man who inherited everything the village holds dear and cares for none of it. And now the storm has swept him to their door.
But when Bramwell is found murdered, Little Kettleby's Christmas turns from celebration to investigation — with the killer trapped among them, and no chance of escape.
With the village cut off and the police beyond reach, Elizabeth must once again turn detective — questioning stranded travellers who guard their pasts and villagers who guard each other.
But in this snowbound village of secrets and strangers, can Elizabeth unmask the killer before the thaw — or will she become the next victim of Little Kettleby's deadly Christmas?
Genre: Cozy Mystery
