About this listen

It's open season at Penford Manor! But someone has murder in their sights...

At Penford Manor, the guests are arriving to celebrate the start of the grouse-hunting season: lords and ladies, barons and baronesses, a Member of Parliament - and chemistry graduate turned detective, Miss Clara Vale, an old friend of the family. But Clara is no ordinary guest: she's secretly investigating a blackmail plot against Lady Penford herself.

Someone in the house is already up to no good, but when the body of a local trade unionist is found in the grounds, Clara's case gets even more complicated because a clue left by the body links it to the blackmail note.

Who has discovered Lady Penford's secret? Can Clara and her trusted assistant Bella work together to find the murderer? And what do the cornflowers which keep popping up everywhere mean?

Amidst the glittering dresses and sparkling conversation of society, Clara must find the truth - before the killer acts again!

The perfect Golden Age cosy mystery for fans of Helena Dixon, Agatha Christie and Verity Bright won't want to miss this!©2025 Fiona Veitch Smith (P)2025 Bonnier Books UK

A really well drawn mystery/cosy crime novel. I feel the Clara Vale series is developing and grow in depth. Great listen! Well read in Audible.

Cracker of a story!

After the Poppy Denby books stopped - I was worried as they were so good! However Clara Vale has come into her own and these books are terrific! Brilliantly narrated by Hannah. Book 4 is really good and the development of the characters is a pleasure to be part of. Highly recommend!

Another terrific Clara Vale mystery!
