MURDER IN MAIDSTONE: A Juliette Abbott Regency Mystery, Book 6
About this ebook
Upon arriving at Maidstone Manor to begin her next assignment for Mr. Phelps of the New Bond Street Auction House, Miss Abbott and her maid Tilda are stunned to find that a gentleman on the estate has only just been found face down in the knot garden, and that the killer absconded with the mudered man's clothing!
When Miss Abbott learns that another suitor to one of the pair of Wentworth daughters disappeared a few days earlier, as did the former owners of Maidstone Manor, it is abundantly clear to Juliette that this assignment will not go any smoother than her previous ones have. Her only relief is that these murders cannot be laid at her feet!
The intrepid Miss Abbott cannot help digging for the truth and when she stumbles onto something else decidedly off-kilter at Maidstone Manor, she unfortunately garners the attention of the killer, who refuses to look the other way! When her dear friend Mr. Sheridan suddenly appears, incognito, Juliette at last draws an easy breath, until she learns that the killer is determined to do away with both her, and her maid! The twists and turns in this newest Juliette Abbott Regency mystery will keep readers guessing until the final explosive scene.
