The Mitford Murders

Fellowes Jessica: The Mitford Affair

The Mitford Affair

Pamela Mitford and the treasure hunt murder

THE MITFORDS AT WAR It's 1941, and the Mitford household is splintered by the vicissitudes of war. To bring the clan together - maybe for one last time - Deborah invites them to Chatsworth for Christmas, along with a selection of society's most impressive and glamorous guests, as well as old family friend Louisa Cannon, a private detective. One night, a psychic arrives, and to liven things up Deborah agrees she may host a séance. But entertainment turns to dark mystery as the psychic reveals that a maid was murdered in this very same house - and she can prove it. Louisa steps forward to try to solve the cold case. But with a house full of people who want nothing more than to bury their secrets, will she be able to unmask the murderer? And how deep does the truth lie? PRAISE FOR THE MITFORD MURDERS SERIES 'A glittering, entertaining, perfectly formed whodunnit' Adele Parks 'Exactly the sort of book you might enjoy with the fire blazing, the snow falling etc. The solution is neat and the writing always enjoyable' Anthony Horowitz 'A lively, well-written, entertaining whodunnit' The Times

Deborah Mitford and the Chatsworth mystery

The Mitford Secret

A timeless whodunnit with the fascinating Mitford sisters at its heart, The Mitford Trial is inspired by a real-life murder in a story full of intrigue, affairs and betrayal. It's lady's maid Louisa Cannon's wedding day, but the fantasy is shattered shortly after when she is approached by a secretive man asking her to spy on Diana Mitford - who is having an affair with the infamous Oswald Mosley - and her similarly fascist sister Unity. Thus as summer 1933 dawns, Louisa finds herself accompanying the Mitfords on a glitzy cruise, full of the starriest members of Society. But the waters run red when a man is found attacked, with suspects everywhere. Back in London, the case is taken by lawyer Tom Mitford, and Louisa finds herself caught between worlds: of a love lost to blood, a family divided, and a country caught in conflict.

Unity Mitford and the killing on the cruise ship

The Mitford Trial

In this first of a series following each of the Mitford sisters through the investigation of a different murder, the real-life murder of Florence Nightingale's god-daughter brings together a nurserymaid called Louisa and the sixteen-year-old Nancy in the hunt for the culprit. "The Mitford Murders" has been optioned by Left Bank Pictures (producers of "The Crown").

Until that is, the performers dive in the sparkling Ionian Sea for their finale... and emerge with a corpse. Could this be Nedda's big break?

But his attempts to clean up his act and keep a low profile are thwarted when it's revealed he has a suspicious connection to the dead man pulled from the sea.

'Excellent. Auhl deserves a series of his own' THE TIMES 'A superb chronicler of cop culture' SUNDAY TIMES 'Disher's sublime touch for atmosphere and tension permeate this absorbing, emotional story' DAILY MAIL TIME WON'T BURY THE TRUTH Sergeant Alan Auhl has come out of retirement. Once a shining light in Victoria's homicide squad, he now runs the Cold Case Unit, casting an experienced eye over unsolved murders and missing persons. The young detectives think he's washed up, but this doesn't faze Auhl. He does things his own way, and his way delivers. Whether he's identifying a skeleton found under a concrete slab, gathering enough evidence to finally convict a doctor who killed three women, or answering a daughter's plea that her father's death was no accident, Auhl always gets results. Because every case, no matter how cold, deserves justice. From the author of the beloved Paul Hirsch mysteries and Hal Challis investigations comes a riveting standalone, perfect for readers of Ian Rankin, Jane Harper and Chris Hammer.
