A Roaring Murder (Lady Marigold’s 1920s Murder Mystery Series Book 1)
A 1920s train mystery brimming with glamour, danger, and a delightfully sassy sleuth.
What Is This 1920s Train Mystery About?
A Roaring Murder is a witty and stylish 1920s cozy mystery featuring Lady Marigold Grey, a former British spy turned reluctant amateur sleuth with a flair for fashion and a talent for attracting trouble.
Istanbul, 1922. Lady Marigold sets out for England aboard a luxury train after accidentally robbing her cousin of his inheritance. But when the train’s director is murdered—and false evidence points to Marigold—she must solve the crime or risk becoming the next victim.
With the help of her loyal German assistant Elke, her grumbling English butler, and her fluffy white terrier Pepper, Marigold dives headfirst into a tangled mystery involving a French chef with an ice sculpture obsession, a jealous prima ballerina, and a mysteriously brooding police inspector who’s determined to prove she’s guilty.
Packed with clever twists, dazzling 1920s settings, and a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance, this is the perfect read for fans of classic whodunits with a glamorous twist.
