Darriby Hall is famous for entertaining busybody aristocrats, tales from distant lands and a dead body . . . now and then.
Lady Darriby-Jones had hoped for a peaceful Mothering Sunday, a quiet return to her charming estate after the chaotic business of sorting out her daughter's trust fund in London. But serenity is swiftly derailed when she's met at Darriby Halt station by none other than DCI 'Rude' Manners—Britain's most bumbling detective—who promptly accuses her of murdering her own maid.
As if that weren't enough to ruin a weekend, things take an even darker turn when a distinguished guest is found bound, gagged, and extremely dead at her estate!
As suspicion tightens around her and her family, the situation spirals further when a close relative is imprisoned for the second murder.
Lady Darriby-Jones must summon all her wit and resolve to unmask the real killer before her family's name is forever tarnished—and before this Mothering Sunday becomes a day no one will ever forget, for all the wrong reasons.
But with a cunning murderer on the loose and secrets swirling around every corner, can she uncover the truth in time, or will the killer strike again?
