A Deadly Inheritance
(2024)(The third book in the Lady Marigold's 1920s Murder Mystery series)
A novel by Ava Ness
Lady Marigold Grey is no stranger to intrigue. But when she places a newspaper advertisement seeking the relatives of two orphans under her care, the results are far from what she expected. Three couples arrive at Mayfair Manor, each with questionable motives—and it soon becomes clear that none of them are who they claim to be.
Events take a deadly turn when one of the supposed relatives is found murdered, and Inspector Sullivan—the corrupt local officer with a personal vendetta—seizes the chance to pin the crime on Marigold.
Determined to clear her name, Marigold enlists the help of her German assistant Elke, her steadfast butler Bentley, potential ally, Inspector Gideon Loxley, and Pepper—her mischievous terrier with a knack for sniffing out trouble.
As secrets surface and loyalties shift, Marigold is drawn deeper into a web of deception, betrayal, and long-buried truths. With danger closing in, she must rely on her quick wit and charm to outmaneuver both the killer and Inspector Sullivan.
But can she unmask the true culprit before she ends up behind bars? Or worse...
Step into a classic 1920s cozy mystery, brimming with witty banter, clever sleuthing, and high-society escapades. Featuring a fearless heroine, a dashing inspector, a charming canine sidekick, and just the right touch of scandal, A Deadly Inheritance promises to keep you guessing right to the very last page.
