Murder of a Recluse
Who killed the reclusive Agatha Dobbs? Newly married Elizabeth Wilkins is determined to prove Agatha's niece's innocence in this compelling 1920s mystery.
October, 1926. Newly married Elizabeth Wilkins is ready for whatever life throws at her and her lawyer husband, Fred. So when Fred comes home anxious about his client, Caroline Dobbs, Elizabeth can't help getting involved. Caroline is suspected of murdering her elderly aunt Agatha at Agatha's farm on the outskirts of Oak Park, and was seen arguing with her on the day she died by neighbour and local gossip-monger, Mrs Edwards, yet Fred seems convinced of Caroline's innocence. Elizabeth joins the influential local Nineteenth Century Woman's Club as she attempts to find out more about the reclusive Agatha Dobbs, and soon uncovers astonishing secrets. Can she unravel the mystery in time to save Caroline from a terrible fate? A page-turning and warm-hearted 1920s mystery featuring a strong-willed and courageous heroine, perfect for fans of Frances Brody and Victoria Thompson.Book Details
