Murder by the Book: A 1920s Historical Cozy Mystery

Evie, the Countess of Woodridge, has her first official case as a married woman. Her business partner, Lotte Mannering, has received an anonymous letter claiming the recently deceased Lord Benning was murdered and his widow, Lady Benning, is responsible not only for his death but also for the death of his first wife.

Evie and Tom are both eager to investigate the matter as it means traveling to the north of England and leaving behind their visiting relatives as well as the mayhem reigning over Halton House. At least the dowagers, Henrietta and Sara, and Toodles, Evie's grandmother, have other business to attend to, or so they claim.

With their investigation underway, Evie and Tom are surprised to find a great number of people claiming to have witnessed altercations between the couple and to say the marriage had been doomed from the beginning.

As they draw closer to the truth, they realize all is not as it seems. To make matters worse, lives are put at risk when a couple of sleuths turn up with the intention of beating Evie and Tom to the truth and only end up getting in the way of the killer.
