Murder at a Spring Wedding: A 1920s Historical Cozy Mystery (The Kitty Worthington Mysteries Book 14)
By Magda Alexander
Spring blossoms, wedding bells, and … murder?
When Kitty Worthington, her husband, and friends motor down to Wiltshire for the society wedding of the season, they expect champagne toasts and spirited repartee — not a corpse in the library. The groom, an old Oxford chum of Robert’s, is marrying an American heiress with a dazzling fortune and a faintly nervous smile. The ancient halls of Ashcombe Manor may be draped in roses, but beneath the garlands lurk secrets, debts, and one very inconvenient dagger.
As the pompous local inspector bungles his way through the guest list to find the killer, Kitty, Robert, and their impromptu investigative committee soon find themselves in the thick of things. From the Ashcombe family’s desperate need for money to their brandy-soaked lord of the manor, and their son’s wandering hands, never mind more than a few shifty guests, there’s no shortage of suspects.
But when Kitty’s questions draw the killer’s attention, her cheerful sleuthing takes a perilous turn. Trapped in a house where everyone has something to hide — and one person will kill to keep it that way — Kitty must use every ounce of wit and courage to unmask the culprit before the next victim is her.
