Synopsis
Georgina Darcy finds plenty amiss at a roaring twenties house party, in this delightful cosy crime caper from Amelia Blackwell, author of A Crime Through Time and The Haunting of a Brontë.
Kimberley Manor, 1922
Georgiana Darcy, time-travelling detective, is dispatched to Kimberly Hall, to prevent the disappearance of Mrs Frances Margaret Montagu, who is about to be married to the future Earl of Kimberly, John Wodehouse.
Before she can embark on her mission, however, one of the wedding guests if found dead in suspicious circumstances -- and he will not be the last.
Georgiana must employ her skills of detection to find a murderer. As luck would have it, she has plenty of assistance, in the form not only of Lord Wodehouse’s incredibly clever butler, Reeves, but also his cousin, Mr Pelham Grenville Wodehouse. Not to mention the final member of the wedding party to arrive, a Mrs Agatha Christie.
But as they set about solving the mystery and finding the killer in their midst, no one is looking to the bride – and soon she will find herself in the gravest of danger…
The Case of the Missing Bride is a cosy tale of mystery and intrigue from Amelia Blackwell, where the glittering facade of high society conceals a labyrinth of hidden desires, lies, and loss.
