📚 What is this 1920s Cozy Mystery About
A High Society Murder is a charming 1920s cozy mystery featuring Lady Marigold Grey, a former British spy turned stylish amateur sleuth. When a skeleton is discovered in a wardrobe at her newly inherited English country estate, Marigold is convinced a murder has taken place. But when the police blame her late uncle, she vows to uncover the truth herself.
With help from her glamorous German assistant Elke, her overly protective butler, and her mischievous terrier Pepper, Marigold sets out to clear her family’s name. But when a decadent dinner party ends in disaster, and the exasperatingly handsome Inspector Gideon Loxley reappears, the stakes rise—and so does the danger.
If you love 1920s cozy mysteries with sharp banter, slow-burn romance, and a side of scandal, you’ll adore this fast-paced and funny second installment in the Lady Marigold series.
