A Vanishing With a View
(2025)(The second book in the Lady Harry Mystery series)
A novel by Olivia Talmont
Book Two of the Lady Harry Mysteries. British village charm with a touch of romance.
Still recovering from a dramatic fifth metatarsal fracture involving a mad dash and a too long pair of trousers, Lady Harry Halesworth finds herself confined to her bedroom at Bollingham Hall, bored, bitter, and peering through binoculars. But her convalescent grumbling takes a turn when she spots something scandalous in the busy village below: a married woman having an affair.
What begins as harmless people-watching soon spirals into a sinister mystery when a man goes missing, and a body is discovered in the orchard, Lady Harry knows she can’t just sit back and do nothing.
Armed with a pair of binoculars, a walkie-talkie, and her very patient half-Italian sidekick Luca Giordano, Lady Harry sets about unpicking the threads of this tangled love triangle, one suspect at a time. With the help of loyal friend Sally and a network of reluctant locals, the investigation spreads from the dusty library of her manor house home to the dark secrets of the village.
Can Lady Harry crack the case without leaving her tower? Or will danger once again find its way to Bollingham Hall?
A witty, and charmingly eccentric British cozy mystery sprinkled with romance.
