Step into Edwardian London for a deliciously twisty suffragette murder mystery packed with cozy intrigue!

Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Benedict Brown and T. E. Kinsey.

Three women hide in Big Ben, only two come out alive...

2 April 1911 is census night, when suffragettes hide overnight in parliament to force census takers to record it as their address - the only way women can have a place in government.

Coral Fairbanks, suffragette, actress, and artist's muse, is among the women who break into parliament. What she doesn't know is that Guy Flynn, artist and Scotland Yard detective, has been ordered to guard it that night.

When a suffragette hiding in Big Ben is poisoned, suspicion falls on the residents of two grand houses in Mayfair.

The Kesbys are avant-garde artists, the Ashcourts are aristocrats fallen on hard times.

Once again, Fairbanks and Flynn put aside their differences to investigate an astonishing case of deception and murder.

A new historical mystery set in Edwardian London featuring the iconic detective duo Fairbanks and Flynn.

Praise for Michelle Salter:

A fabulous, well-written, mystery that holds all the promise of much more to come... The Iris Woodmore mysteries are fast becoming some of my favourites. M J Porter

A joy to read! Such a well-researched mystery. I absolutely loved the unconventional heroine, 1920s setting, engaging characterisation and poignant ending, all of which provide a captivating start to the Iris Woodmore cosy mystery series. Anita Davison

The mystery itself is intriguing, with plenty of twists and unexpected developments. If you enjoy 1920s mysteries and learning about the Suffragettes and all they stood for, then I highly recommend Death at Crookham Hall. Verity Bright

Death at Crookham Hall is a lovely, murder mystery by a gifted writer. Helena Dixon
