In post-World War II England, a clever, young woman named Mary Adams finds herself thrust into a world of privilege and secrets as she transitions from being a wartime factory worker to a maid in the grand estates. As Mary begins a new position in the kitchens of a prestigious family, she finds herself in the midst of an engagement party where the air is thick with tension and secrets. When a poison-induced murder disrupts the façade of a forced union, Mary must uncover the identity of the killer before the killer destroys more than just the engagement….

THE MAID AND THE MANSION: A MISSING GUEST is book #3 in a charming historical cozy mystery series by Fiona Grace, #1 bestselling author of Murder in the Manor, which has over 10,000 five star reviews!

As Mary navigates the delicate intricacies of high society, she also finds herself privy to their darkest secrets. As a maid, Mary moves through mansions unnoticed and unheeded, allowing her to overhear tales of jilted lovers, gossip from fellow maids, and secrets straight from the mouths of the rich and elite.

As Mary delves deeper into the intricate web of secrets within the stately manor, she encounters a cast of eccentric and intriguing characters, each with their own secrets—and their own motives for murder.

Will Mary uncover their secrets in time? Or become just another story whispered about in the grand halls?
