About this ebook
A mass murderer is stalking the streets of London—and this time, Rosemary Lillywhite is certain she’s the intended target. After receiving a second explicit threat, she knows she should go straight to her chief inspector beau, Max Whittington. But Rosemary is tired of being treated as though she’s made of glass.
After all, how many murder investigations does a lady detective have to solve to earn a little respect?
She soon regrets tempting fate.
When another body turns up—this time on her own doorstep—and the newspapers are all too eager to imply Rosemary’s involvement, she has no choice but to take matters into her own hands. Clearing her name means delving deep into a murderer’s sordid past and confronting secrets far darker than she ever expected.
Complicating matters further, Rosemary finds herself forced to keep dangerous truths from Max, no matter the strain it places on their relationship. With the killer growing bolder and suspicion closing in from all sides, trust becomes a luxury she may not be able to afford.
In a case more twisted than murder itself, everyone is a suspect—and Rosemary must uncover the truth before she becomes the next headline.
A Twisted Case of Murder is the eighth book in the Mrs. Lillywhite Investigates series, a 1920s historical cozy mystery featuring amateur sleuthing, gentle romance, and classic Golden Age charm.
