About this listen

A high society murder. A spirited lady detective. Can she out-class the killer before an innocent person takes the fall?

London, 1923. Olive Belgrave needs a job. Despite her aristocratic upbringing, she’s penniless. Determined to support herself, she jumps at an unconventional job—looking into the background of her cousin’s fiancé, Alfred.

Alfred burst into the upper-crust world of London’s high society, but his answers to questions about his past are decidedly vague. Before Olive can gather more than the basics, a murder occurs at a posh party. Suddenly, every Bright Young Person in attendance is a suspect, and Olive must race to find the culprit because a sly murderer is determined to make sure Olive’s first case is her last.

Murder at Archly Manor is the first in the High Society Lady Detective series of charming historical cozy mysteries. If you like witty banter, glamorous settings, and delightful plot twists, you’ll love USA Today bestselling author Sara Rosett’s series for Anglophiles and mystery lovers alike.

Travel back to the Golden Age of detective fiction with Murder at Archly Manor.

Ok, but please, not “Mum”!!!!

The fact that aristocratic young women addressed their mother as “Mum” 🤦‍♀️ grated every time I heard it. It’s simply impossible that this would have occurred. It’s Mummy, Mamma, or Mother.
A few other missteps….one says “How do you do” when being introduced, and as the son of British ex-pats in India, Alfred would have been sent “home” to school in England at around 8, not grown up in India.
Otherwise a reasonably entertaining cozy 😊

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
