Murder at Merivale Manor
(2024)(The first book in the Kitty Goring Investigates series)
A Story by Ella Strike
A cozy dinner party, a playful game… and a very real murder.
London, 1923
Kitty Goring seems to have it all—lavish nights at London’s finest clubs, elegant soirées, and a parade of charming bachelors vying for her hand. But despite the glamour, Kitty longs for something a little more… thrilling. Life after the war has left her restless, and all the glittering parties are starting to feel a little dull.
In a bid for excitement (and to avoid her mother’s constant reminders that she really ought to be searching for a husband), Kitty dreams up the perfect diversion. A playful mock robbery at her family’s grand estate, Merivale Manor. It’s all meant to be fun—until one of the guests turns up very much dead.
With a real killer on the loose in the quaint village of Hampstead, Kitty’s keen instincts kick in. Forget matchmaking—Kitty’s determined to unmask the culprit before anyone else falls victim. With a sharp wit and a flair for mischief, she dives headfirst into the investigation. But getting to the truth won’t be easy, especially with the brooding Detective Inspector Henry Burton underestimating her at every turn.
Murder, mystery, and a dash of romance—Kitty’s got her hands full in this charming whodunit!
Murder at Merivale Manor is the delightful first book in the Kitty Goring Investigates historical cozy mystery series.
Author's note:
London in the 1920s is a glamorous and exciting city, but danger and death are never too far behind. Join Kitty Goring and her group of Bright Young Things in the adventure of a lifetime, as they race to catch a killer who lurks amongst them.
Each book in this series is a cozy period mystery that features our plucky heroine, aided in her investigations by her scrappy little dog, Scottie, and a group of eccentric and lovable characters.
