Death at Grenstead House
(2021)(A book in the Madeleine Brooks Mystery series)
A Novella by Tannis Laidlaw
A brutal murder.
A young woman serving life imprisonment.
Her guilt is obvious…or is it?
When Madeleine Brooks’ cousin Tish Adams rings to say she’s now a mother of two, Maddie is overjoyed, but perplexed. Tish has long been infertile and her hopes of adoption have been thwarted at every turn. So how has her wish for parenthood been granted so suddenly?
When a young pregnant woman is put in the local prison for murdering her boyfriend, Maddie finds herself investigating the case at Tish’s behest. The convicted woman was found beside the bloodied victim, with her fingerprints on the weapon…and she’s the mother of Tish’s children.
But something about the young surrogate’s murderous actions don’t add up for Maddie. Why is she insistent that the victim was not her boyfriend and that his murderer was an intruder? And why was she providing surrogacy services during her sentence?
Determined to get to the truth, Maddie discovers hidden facts that start to indicate this case is anything but open and shut.
Death at Grenstead House is the prequel novella to the Madeleine Brooks Mystery series. On top of rumblings of discontent in her professional and married life, probation officer Maddie Brooks finds herself intrigued by this mystery. Soon, as chronicled in the other books of the series, she finds herself regularly entangled in all manner of murderous cases in her sleepy little English village.
A clever and engaging murder mystery suitable for a cozy winter’s evening with the cat purring, a fire in the grate, and a glass of something handy.
