Horrid Happenings at Dangerton Manor
(2022)(The second book in the Very Particular Detective Agency series)
A novel by Issy Brooke
The stage is set for skulduggery, secrets … and murder!
Florian de Vere is a larger-than-life theatre impresario, and his death is sad but accidental. Or is it? His brother, Sir John, asks Miss Josephine York to investigate further – but quietly. He doesn’t want the police involved. But why?
Soon, Josephine finds herself embroiled deep in a plot that has ramifications far beyond the little county of Rutland, with its intrigue stretching as far as France and Italy. Add in a dubious inheritance, an exotic stranger and a handful of bored, rich young aristocrats playing at being actors, and Josephine is baffled.
But she’s got help, too. With her faithful lapdog Sir Sam, her secret lover Hockley, and her wonderfully eccentric mycologist father, she knows she can solve this case – but can she solve it in time to prevent a second death?
Horrid Happenings at Dangerton Manor is the second in a new series called A Very Particular Detective Agency, from the author of the popular series, The Discreet Investigations of Lord and Lady Calaway. Set on the cusp of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, this is a traditionally British classic murder mystery that is sure to delight all fans of upper-class amateur sleuths! Check out book one, too – The Ghastly Murder at Goose Hall.
Genre: Mystery
