THIS IS THE LARGE PRINT VERSION
A missing heir. An out of sorts duchess. A Season in High Society that just became far more interesting...
London, 1891. With the gossip broadsheet The Society Page speculating that her husband is getting far too cosy with their female neighbour back at his country estate, Alice, Duchess of Stortford, is fed-up. And it's raining! But when a flustered nobleman appears at her door, knowing of her reputation for managing discreet enquires, he begs her for help. His nephew, who is about to inherit an Earldom, has gone missing.
But the deeper Alice digs, the murkier things become. Why are the late Earl's wife and his stepson so evasive? What really happened at The Carlton Hotel the night the heir was last seen? And who's set to gain the Earldom if the heir ends up dead?
Aided by her loyal maid Maud, her quick-thinking footman George, and the ever-resourceful private investigator Ben Beaumont-not to mention a certain well-known detective with a pipe-Alice must untangle a web of secrets to find the missing heir before it's too late.
The clock is ticking, the gossip is swirling-and only Alice can set things right.
A charming and twist-filled historical cozy mystery, An Heir is Misplaced is perfect for fans of clever heroines, upstairs-downstairs sleuthing, and mysteries with a touch of wit and warmth.
