Description
The Mitford Secret transports readers to a time of elegance and intrigue, set against the backdrop of World War II. In the winter of 1941, the Mitford family reunites at the opulent Chatsworth House for a Christmas gathering. Deborah, the host, has invited not only her relatives but also a selection of glamorous guests, as well as old family friend Louisa Cannon, a private detective.
The Plot
The festive atmosphere takes a dark turn when a psychic arrives and Deborah lets her hold a séance, at which she reveals the chilling news that a maid was once murdered in the house, and claims she can prove it. This revelation prompts Louisa to take on the cold case, determined to unearth the truth. But with a house full of guests who would rather keep their secrets buried, can she unmask the killer?

- Mystery and Intrigue: With a blend of suspense and revelation, Louisa’s investigation unfolds among glamorous guests who all have something to hide.
