Murder at Archly Manor

Olive Belgrave is looking for a job, but investigating a murder isn't what she had in mind. Her socialite cousin Gwen asks her to come to her home to help her with her sister Violet. In Murder at Archly Manor by Sara Rosett it seems Violet has gotten herself engaged to a young man no one really knows.

Her family wants to know more about Alfred Eton, but he is cunningly oblique about his past. He claims his father was a civil servant in India and his parents were killed in a ferry accident. Society photograph and all around part animal Sebastian Blakely is his godfather, but as for any other information, he has been cagey.

Olive's aunt hires her to investigate Alfred's background, but he is very tight-lipped about his past. When she asks him questions he is very vague, which frustrates Olive. She recruits the assistance of her old friend Jasper to see what he can find out through his connections.

When Olive and her cousins are invited to a weekend party at Sebastian's estate Archly Manor, Olive eagerly accepts with hope of learning more about Alfred. But once at the Manor, a murder occurs and Olive is forced to defend her cousin Violet.

Murder at Archly Manor is the first in the High Society Lady Detective series. Looking forward to more.
