Mystery with a side order of history
Nestled in the idyllic setting of Derbyshire's rolling hills, the ancestral home of the Fitzwilliam-Scott family seems an unlikely location for murder.
While public visitors to the house enjoy historical re-enactments, breathtaking architecture, and beautiful gardens, caffeine-loving café manager Sophie Lockwood finds herself investigating present-day scandals and half-forgotten crimes from the past. Join Sophie and her colourful, quick-witted friends as they hunt murderers, helped by endless coffee and copious amounts of cake, in these thrilling, entertaining and often hilarious adventures in the heart of the English countryside.
This set contains the first three books in the Charleton House Mysteries.
Death by Dark Roast
The annual Charleton House Food Festival is about to begin. But the first item on the menu is murder…
A Killer Wedding
As a passionate couple take their marriage vows in an ancient chapel, death is already waiting in the shadows for one of the persons there present.
Sleep Like the Dead
When visitors gather deep in the frozen Derbyshire countryside for a sleepover in the opulent Long Gallery of Charleton House, joined by some notable guests from the past, no one expects that by morning Charles Dickens will have been murdered.
Addictive, entertaining and often hilarious mysteries with a coffee-loving amateur sleuth who works at one of England's finest stately homes, and is ruled by her domineering tabby cat.
Written in British English. Can be read as standalones but will be enjoyed more as part of the series. No strong language, gore, sex, or violence!
