A day trip to Hampton Court Palace. The former home of King Henry VIII. It was all going so well until they stumbled across the body...

July 1903: The villagers of Moreton-on-Thames are on their annual day out. And Connie is excited. It will be the first time she officially walks out with Sergeant Cooper ... and she wants it to be perfect.

The plan is simple. Visit the gardens first before going to the palace. But when they find the body of a man lying in the centre of the maze, a knife wound in his back, no one can deny its murder.

As Sergeant Cooper takes charge of the early investigation, Eliza and Connie are left to begin their own search for the killer. But with the identity of the victim a mystery, their task looks impossible.

With witnesses and suspects determined to mislead, they soon find they have more questions than answers. And with the killer determined to keep his secret, can they track him down before anyone else gets hurt?

This is the seventh standalone story in the Eliza Thomson Investigates series. If you like Miss Marple-style murder mysteries, and historical heroines with attitude, you'll love this step-back-in-time cozy series.

Industry Reviews

"The Palace Murder by VL McBeath was a page-turner. Eliza is like a dog with a bone. Constantly gnawing away at it until she gets to the truth. And she doesn't let Victorian thinking stop her. She reminds me of the Suffragettes of the time."

"This book was very enjoyable to read. The story was engrossing, and the characters were believable. If you like amateur detectives, you'll like Eliza Thomson. I highly recommend this book to other cozy readers."

"Very sad to get to the end of this series of books! Really enjoyed them all and look forward to the next release!"

"Well, what can I say......another great story with a twist here and there. Wonderful characters, a great story. Your books are so much fun to read, I enjoy them very much. Of course, I had to read it all right away, could not put it down...I had a great time reading......can't wait for the next one....."
