Listen to an Exclusive Preview of the A Dowager is Done In Audiobook

Hampshire, 1891. Restless in mourning, Alice, Duchess of Stortford, accepts a summons from Clarissa, Dowager Countess of Romley, who hints at a troubling matter at Lawrence House. But before Alice can discover what, the Dowager is found dead — her passing dismissed as a heart attack. Alice suspects otherwise.

With resentments flaring, old scandals resurfacing, and every guest hiding something, she must unravel the truth before the killer silences someone else. The Dowager had secrets. Her guests have motives. And the duchess is about to learn that country house parties can be murder.

“This has all the feels of a classic country house murder mystery, with the rowing family and others with a keen eye to profit from the dowager countess’s will, if only the new will can be found. Alice manages to just about avoid scandal with her investigation, and this was another enjoyable cosy historical mystery”
