Do Not Disturb

The Pennyfoot Hotel hides more than its share of secrets. Its discreet downstairs staff knows better than to gossip when Edwardian aristocrats are caught dallying in boudoirs or gambling in hidden card rooms. But when one of the hotel’s illustrious guests falls victim to murder, owner Cecily Sinclair must uncover the truth before Scotland Yard shuts down her scandalous seaside establishment for good.

A knock at the door in the dead of night is followed by a man’s sudden, agonizing death. The cause is poison—a mysterious substance that seems to point directly to the local herbalist, a woman feared by the villagers for her powerful potions and rumored to be a witch.

Cecily, however, refuses to believe her closest friend is a killer. With suspicion spreading and Inspector Cranshaw eager to make an arrest, she must untangle a web of grudges, secrets, and dangerous deceptions before an innocent woman is sent to prison—and the real murderer strikes again.

Perfect for fans of witty historical cozy mysteries, clever female sleuths, Edwardian intrigue, and murder with an irresistible upstairs-downstairs twist.
