About this ebook

A missing author and a sleepy English village rife with secrets . . .

September, 1923. Despite closing her first case, high society lady detective Olive Belgrave hasn’t found a new client. She’s taken a job as a hat model to pay for her poky boarding house room. But then a job offer comes her way—make discreet inquiries about a famous author who’s disappeared.

Olive travels to the English countryside to hunt for the missing mystery author. But soon after she arrives in the sleepy village, a body is discovered. Then a second murder focuses the police’s attention on Olive, and she must clear her name before the murderer pens a plot that frames her.

Murder at Blackburn Hall is the second book in the High Society Lady Detective series, a lighthearted cozy historical mystery series set in 1920s England. If you love novels that take you back to the Golden Age of detective fiction with interesting plots, posh settings, and twisty mysteries, you’ll love the High Society Lady Detective Series from USA Today bestseller Sara Rosett.

Great mystery! I love Sara Rosette's balance of dun and serious intrigue. I love the snippets of real history thrown in, and that she explains the real stories that were her source of inspiration at the end. and I LOVE that (so far!) these books are clean.

historical-fiction, cosy-mystery, amateur-sleuth, women-sleuths, 1920s Olive needs a job very badly and a friend directs her to a publisher who can't find his author of best selling books. He arranges to have her stay for a few days in the area he thinks that the author might be, but the cover story is that she is there to vet a book on etiquette. The lady of the house is a real gorgon, her sister is a scientist, the son is a golf maniac Olive knows from debutante days, and the policeman is unimaginative. Until the next murder. I loved it! Elizabeth Klett is perfect for narrating as a perky young Londoner of the time.
