THE TRUTH-SEEKER'S WIFE

Classic crime bestseller Ann Granger brings us her eighth Victorian mystery featuring Scotland Yard's Inspector Ben Ross and his wife Lizzie

At the request of Aunt Parry, Lizzie Martin travels to the seaside for some rest and relaxation — but she is reluctant, as last time she was in the area, a murder took place. After a warning from two local and mysterious sisters, Lizzie begins to worry that she has brought death with her... again!
And she's not wrong — their host, Sir Henry Meager, is found dead in his bed from a gunshot wound after dining with the women the previous evening. Inspector Ben Ross is called in to lead the investigation, with suspects ranging from household staff including the Estate Manager, Robert Harcourt, who claims to be Henry's illegitimate son, to Sir Henry's nephew and heir, Andrew.
Tragedy strikes again, and someone dies after an ‘accident' — but there are signs of foul play and Ben comes to realise that this victim may have been murdered too
