Synopsis

A charming 1920s cozy mystery featuring an unforgettable heroine, a loyal dog, and a murder that refuses to stay buried.

Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Rhys Bowen, and Ashley Weaver!

Veronica Vale never expected to investigate a murder. As an obituary writer for the London Times, she's more accustomed to reporting on death than solving it. Her 1920s London life is pleasantly predictable: crafting elegant tributes to the deceased, attending parties, and enjoying peaceful walks through the city with Benji, her beloved rescue dog.

But murder has a way of disrupting even the most comfortable routines.

When a friend is found dead, Veronica's curiosity and sense of justice won't let her look away. This isn't just another name for the obituary column. This is cold-blooded murder, and someone is getting away with it.

Determined to see the killer brought to justice, Veronica begins her own investigation.

Armed with her sharp wit, journalistic instincts, and insider knowledge of London society, she digs into the victim's past. But amateur sleuthing in post-war England is more treacherous than she imagined. Her complicated family life demands her attention at the worst possible moments. Society's expectations threaten to cage her investigation. And the suspects? They're all hiding something.

From elegant drawing rooms to shadowy London streets, the truth is more twisted than anyone suspected.

Every suspect had the means, motive, and opportunity. Every witness has a secret. And as Veronica gets closer to unmasking the murderer, she realizes that someone is willing to kill again to keep the past buried.

With Benji at her side and her determination unwavering, Veronica must navigate:

• The glittering but dangerous world of 1920s London high society
• Family obligations that threaten to derail her investigation
• A growing list of suspects, each with their own dark secrets
• The risk of becoming the killer's next victim

Can an obituary writer solve a murder before she becomes her own final column?

Death at the Fireside Inn is a delightful historical cozy mystery that transports readers to a glamorous age, where murder lurks beneath society's polished veneer. Featuring a smart, relatable heroine, a charming canine companion, and a puzzle that will keep you guessing until the final page.

If you love clever amateur detectives, atmospheric 1920s settings, loyal dog companions, and mysteries with heart, you'll adore Veronica Vale's first adventure.
