About this listen

The Mitfords at war

It's 1941, and the Mitford household is splintered by the vicissitudes of war. To bring the clan together—maybe for one last time—Deborah invites them to Chatsworth for Christmas, along with a selection of society's most impressive and glamorous guests, as well as old family friend Louisa Cannon, a private detective.

One night, a psychic arrives, and to liven things up, Deborah agrees she may host a séance. But entertainment turns to dark mystery as the psychic reveals that a maid was murdered in this very same house—and she can prove it.

Louisa steps forward to try to solve the cold case. But with a house full of people who want nothing more than to bury their secrets, will she be able to unmask the murderer? And how deep does the truth lie?

I have loved all Jessica’s Mitford books and this one about Chatsworth has been my favourite. I live in the High Peak and have visited Chatsworth so it was perfect for me. That said it was a brilliant story, I thought I had sussed it a few times but needless to say I hadn’t lol. Rachel Atkins as usual narrated it in her own inimitable style. So sorry it seems to be the last in the wonderful series.

Love Chatsworth

I have enjoyed every Mitford Murder novel, and I hope that there are further Louisa Sullivan detective novels in the future.
