Cragside: A 1930s murder mystery

By Mj Porter

From bestselling historical fiction author MJ Porter comes a gripping murder mystery inspired by lockdown walks at the stunning Northumberland estate of Cragside.

Lady Ella Merryweather has endured the unthinkable. Arrested for the murder of her own husband and only recently released without charge, she seeks refuge from London's whispers at the beloved Cragside Estate - a grand house in the wild hills of North Northumberland, home to old friends Lord and Lady Bradbury, and a place of happier memories.

But peace proves elusive. Within hours of her arrival, a guest is found dead on the estate - and all eyes turn to Ella.

Released once more for lack of evidence, she returns to Cragside only to find a second body waiting. A murder she could not possibly have committed. Someone is killing, and someone is letting her take the blame.

Convinced these deaths are bound to her husband's unsolved murder, Lady Merryweather resolves to uncover the truth - before the killer decides she knows too much. As the body count rises and old loyalties fracture, the most dangerous place in England may not be London's drawing rooms, but the beautiful, treacherous grounds of Cragside itself.

Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and classic golden age mysteries.
