Overview

A wedding in the Highlands. A body in the marquee. And a Countess with a past she can't quite leave behind... When a local wedding is saved by the gracious Countess Maeve Morgan-former English police officer turned unexpected aristocrat-she expects confetti and cake... not a corpse in the marquee. The murder of a famed wildlife professor on the eve of the nuptials sends shockwaves through the village of Strathfulton-and threatens to ruin Maeve's carefully curated new life as Lady of the Manor. With the bride a former detective, the groom the local constable, and the guest list now under house arrest thanks to an insufferably pompous DCI with a grudge against women, aristocrats, and Wales (Maeve ticks all three), things spiral into chaos faster than you can say treacle tart. But when a mysterious boy is found hiding in the hedgerow-and promptly vanishes after tying up the housemaid-Maeve begins to suspect that murder is only the beginning. Secrets bloom in the thickets, foreign tongues whisper through the walls, and someone may be plotting a second assassination right under her roof. With a missing prince, an overzealous detective, and twenty-eight scandalized houseguests stranded at the estate, Maeve must dust off her old investigative instincts to catch a killer before the Queen's weekend at Balmoral becomes a royal scandal. Poison, politics, and pâté collide in this sharp and spirited mystery, where tea is hot, clues are cold, and the Countess always gets her man... eventually. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Rhys Bowen, and T.E. Kinsey, Death in a Marquee is the fifth installment in the Maeve Morgan Murder Mysteries-an atmospheric historical cozy series with heart, humour, and a heroine you'll adore.
