A Blighter is Bumped Off (Large Print Edition)

THIS IS THE LARGE PRINT EDITIONThe only thing worse than a persistent suitor? A dead one on your lawn.London, 1892. Alice, Duchess of Stortford, has returned to town determined to enjoy her first Season as a wealthy widow. But instead of balls, flirtation, and whispered gossip, she finds herself besieged by ambitious bachelors-none more persistent than the insufferably smooth-talking Miles Fonthill. When Alice firmly refuses his sudden proposal, she assumes the matter is settled.Instead, he turns up dead in her garden.The police are happy to call it a tragic accident. Alice is less convinced.Why was Miles climbing over her garden wall in the middle of the night? Why had he become so determined to win her favour? And what did he really want?As Alice begins to dig into Miles’ final days, her search leads her into the glittering heart of London society, where old loyalties run deep, secrets are guarded fiercely, and reputation matters more than truth. But when whispers of the mysterious Order of the Golden Key begin circling dangerously close to her own late husband’s name, Alice realises Miles’ death may be far more complicated than one unwelcome suitor meeting an unfortunate end.And if someone is willing to kill to keep their secrets...this Season may prove positively deadly.Perfect for fans of feisty female sleuths, Victorian High Society, and secret scandals, all served with a dash of humour and a cup of tea.
