- Book 3 of 3: The Marquess of Mortiforde Mysteries
A stolen effigy. A medieval dagger. And a Bonfire Night that's about to get a lot more dangerous.
Every November, the town of Mortiforde lights up the sky with Britain's most spectacular Bonfire Night celebrations. But this year, someone has stolen Mortiforde Millie — the town's beloved fifteen-foot effigy — just days before the fireworks begin.
Lord Mortiforde has barely started looking for her when things get considerably worse.
Developer Rupert Rinde is planning to bulldoze the historic Mortiforde Meadows and replace them with a waste incinerator. The locals are furious. His own father, Sir Hugo, is livid. And when Sir Hugo is found dead — skewered by a medieval dagger — his widow wastes no time in begging Lord Mortiforde to find the killer.
Meanwhile, Lady Mortiforde and her Ladies' Legion have been promised the meadows for their new eco-friendly burial scheme, and they're determined to plant their first body before the whole deal goes up in smoke.
As Lord Mortiforde digs deeper, he begins to suspect that the missing effigy, the incinerator project, and the murder are far more closely connected than anyone realised — and that someone is counting on the chaos of Bonfire Night to keep their secrets buried.
If you love British cozy mysteries full of quirky characters, dark humour, and plots that twist right until the final page, Flaming Murder will keep you guessing until the last spark.
- A quintessential English village setting
- A twisty, atmospheric Bonfire Night mystery
- Eccentric suspects and gloriously dark humour
- Ancient secrets with very modern consequences
- Book Three in the Marquess of Mortiforde series
Perfect for fans of Richard Osman, M.C. Beaton, and the village mysteries of Midsomer Murders.
Can Lord Mortiforde unmask a killer, save the Mortiforde Meadows, and rescue Mortiforde Millie's hidden secret — before Bonfire Night erupts into chaos?
Pick up Flaming Murder — the third Marquess of Mortiforde mystery — today.
