Death at Crookham Hall: Iris Woodmore, Book 1

The start of a totally gripping 1920s cosy murder mystery series A fatal jump. A missing suffragette. An inexplicable murder.

London, 1920. Reporter Iris Woodmore lands a headline story when, for the first time, two women compete against each other in an election to become Britain’s next female MP.

But she’s forced to confront her past as the House of Commons is where her mother, Violet, died during a suffragette attack on Parliament in 1914.

Iris believed her mother died accidentally after falling into the River Thames – until a waterman tells her he witnessed what really happened. Violet Woodmore didn’t fall – she jumped.

Iris searches for the suffragette who was with her mother on that fateful day – only to find she disappeared from Crookham Hall six years earlier.

Desperate to know the truth behind that fatal jump, Iris discovers the ancestral home is hiding secrets and lies that inevitably lead to murder…

The first book in the Iris Woodmore cozy crime series. Perfect for fans of Verity Bright, Claire Gradidge and Emily Organ.
