MURDER AT MONTFORD HALL is Book 7 in Marilyn Clay's Juliette Abbott Regency Mystery Series. A pair of mysteries collide in this intricately-plotted tale set against the glamorous backdrop of the London theater in the 1820s.
What can possibly go wrong when a group of former actors and actresses, all of whom once appeared to great acclaim on the London stage, all gather for a lovely winter house party at the country home of Lord and Lady Montford? How about the vicious murder of one of their group on her way to Montford Hall, the poor lady found dead in her carriage before she even arrives at the Montford Hall estate? Will a blinding snowstorm, dictating that no one can leave the mansion, or the fact that the coal supply in the house is fast diminishing and the larder is nearly bare of food, serve to lower the house guests' spirits?
Will finding another guest brutally murdered on the premises frighten the guests? Or cause them to believe that they are now stranded in the snowy countryside with a killer in their midst? How soon before the frightened guests begin to point fingers at one another? When Miss Abbott, who is not an actress and therefore not truly one of them, is spotted standing over the dead body of one of the gentlemen guests, the murder weapon in hand, how quickly will Miss Abbott be declared the guilty party?
And, how quickly will our clever young sleuth manage to run the real killer to ground and prove not only her own innocence, but that of her maid Tilda, upon whose head suspicion has also fallen?
