The Case at Hartcombe Head (Lady Matilda Investigates Book 2)
By Catherine Coles
A morning walk, the new Lord Dartcombe on the rocks below Hartcombe Head, and a killer among Lady Matilda’s weekend guests.
Biddington Court, Devon – September 1924
Matilda has put together a small weekend party to welcome Matthew Harding, the new Lord Dartcombe—a handful of his old friends and a few familiar village faces. Matthew has only been in Devon a fortnight. Someone thought that quite long enough.
The police are on their way from Torquay—but Matilda is already looking at her suspects across the breakfast table. The spurned almost-fiancée and her sharp-eyed mother. The too-decent cousin who stands to inherit. The solicitor with secrets of his own to keep. And Matilda’s own godfather, who arrived at Biddington Court already nursing a grievance.
Matilda and her companion, Hetty—with plenty of canine encouragement from Wellington the Basset Hound—must uncover the killer beneath the roof of Biddington Court before another life is lost.
The second in Lady Matilda Investigates—an atmospheric 1920s cosy mystery series set on the Devon coast, featuring widowed Lady Matilda Farnsworth, her companion Miss Hetty Trelawny and Wellington the Basset Hound.
