Murder in Cavendish Square
(2026)(Book 15 in the Dodo Dorchester Mystery series)
A novel by Ann Sutton
The perfect husband. The perfect home…except for the corpse in the garden.
Newlywed Lady Dorothea Danforth has everything she ever wanted — a beloved husband, a beautifully renovated townhouse in Cavendish Square, and a houseful of charming new friends acquired during a storm-delayed crossing from Calais.
Then one of her kitchen maids is found strangled in the back yard, and the honeymoon is well and truly over.
The victim is Betty Finch — eighteen years old, an orphan from Lancashire, and the last person anyone would expect to make an enemy. But someone among Dodo's eight houseguests wanted her silenced. And they were prepared to do it while the household slept.
As Dodo investigates, nothing is quite what it seems. Her guests are charming, sophisticated and entirely plausible — and every single one of them is hiding something. The deeper she digs, the more she suspects that Betty's death is only the surface of something far larger and far more dangerous than a simple household murder.
With her old friend Inspector Hornby of Scotland Yard assigned to the case, and her quick-witted husband, Rupert, by her side, Dodo must navigate a labyrinth of lies, hidden identities and long-buried secrets, before the killer disappears.
Murder in Cavendish Square is the latest irresistible instalment in the beloved Dodo Dorchester Mystery series — a sparkling, sophisticated cozy mystery set in the glamorous world of 1920s London.
