The Meriwell Legacy

Praise for The Meriwell Legacy“A mystery’s afoot when Lord Meriwell collapses at dinner, poisoned. Which one of his family members or esteemed dinner guests has means and motive to want the wealthy man dead? Investigator wife-and-husband team Penelope and Barnaby Adair are on the case, assisting Scotland Yard in catching the killer. Fans of historical fiction and murder mystery aficionados will enjoy this well-plotted and suspenseful story.” Brittany M., Proofreader, Red Adept Editing“An MP and his family are enjoying a house party at Meriwell Hall when Lord Meriwell dies by poisoning at dinner one night, and many of those who gathered around the table that evening stand to gain from their host’s demise. When some talented aristocratic sleuths are summoned to help solve the murder, the unmasking of the culprit is simply a matter of time. More mystery than romance, this new tale from Stephanie Laurens features a barrelful of red herrings and is a delight to read.” Angela M., Copy Editor, Red Adept Editing“Penelope and Barnaby Adair have solved several mysteries for the social elite of Regency London. So when Lord Meriwell dies under suspicious circumstances at his country estate, it’s natural for Inspector Basil Stokes to enlist their help in clarifying matters. Did Meriwell succumb to old age, or was he felled by a cash-strapped descendent desperate for an inheritance? In genteel but relentless fashion, the investigators untangle a web of family intrigue-and a few romantic matches.” Kim H., Proofreader, Red Adept Editing
