Murder at Darkwood Hall: A Three Villages Cosy Christmas Mystery (The Three Villages Mysteries Book 4)
By J P Fraser
It’s 1977, and we’re off to a 1920s‑themed Christmas party in an archaeologist’s mansion.
What could possibly go wrong?
When Catriona Cameron accepts an invitation to the grand and glittering Darkwood Hall, she anticipates sparkling gowns, a cheeky cocktail or three, and perhaps the odd bit of scandalous gossip. She doesn’t expect to find a house full of secrets, devious characters or a dead body in the gallery.
When glamorous socialite Yvonne Temple is discovered murdered, the worsening snow ensures no one will be leaving… including the killer. Everyone is a suspect: an archaeologist with a deadly secret, a garrulous MP with a shady history, a jealous wife, a mysterious Egyptian diplomat and a bitter daughter with far too much to hide. Does the truth lay in an ill‑fated expedition to the land of the pharaohs a quarter of a century earlier?
With her friend Debbie at her side, Catriona will have to work through the night to uncover the killer. To do so, she must delve into Yvonne’s murky past, discover what really happened on that fateful dig and find a missing artefact that could be the key to the entire mystery. The murderer is cunning and ruthless, and Catriona soon realises she may be the next victim.
Help is a very long way away.
The latest enthralling novel in the Three Villages Cosy Mystery Series is perfect for fans of village intrigue, spirited heroines, ancient secrets and mysteries decades in the making. Once again, JP Fraser conjures a richly nostalgic tale filled with quirky, memorable characters who are occasionally lovable, frequently infuriating, but never, ever dull.
Join Catriona in her fourth fun and intriguing Three Villages Cosy Mystery, where secrets both ancient and modern are revealed and murder is her companion for the night.
