Synopsis

A little music, a little dancing, a little murder at the spring ball.

England, 1925. After years shut away from the world, former detective Lord Edgington of Cranley Hall plans a grand ball to celebrate his seventy-fifth birthday.

But when someone starts bumping off members of his scheming family, the old man enlists his teenage grandson to help find the killer, before one of them is next.

The mismatched duo must pick the culprit from a gaggle of preening playboys, scatter-brained spinsters and irate inspectors in this Agatha-Christie-style whodunnit that will have you racing to spot the killer.

With a cast of eccentric suspects (both upstairs and down) and an adorable golden retriever along for the ride, “Murder at the Spring Ball” is a warm-hearted murder mystery full of intrigue, humour and adventure.

About this title

About the Author

I'm a Welsh-Irish-Englishman originally from South London but now living with my French-Spanish wife and decidedly European infant daughter in Burgos, a beautiful city in the north of Spain. Writing has always been my passion. It was my favourite half-an-hour a week at primary school, and I started on my first, truly abysmal book as a teenager. So it wasn't a difficult decision to study literature at university which led to an MA in Creative Writing. I grew up in a crime fiction family and had made a few clumsy attempts at writing one over the years before coming up with the idea for my detective Izzy Palmer. I've already released five Izzy novels and am starting on a 1920s mystery series with "Lord Edgington Investigates...". If you feel like telling me what you think about my detectives, my writing or the world at large, I'd love to hear from you, so feel free to get in touch at www.benedictbrown.net
