MURDER AT MARLEY CHASE

MURDER AT MARLEY CHASE by MARILYN CLAY is book ten in the popular JULIETTE ABBOTT REGENCY MYSTERY SERIES. When Miss Abbott is assigned to select art works for the private gallery of Lady Marley of Marley Chase and her husband, who is staging a prestigious Derby there, Juliette and her maid Tilda confidently set out for the large country manor home. However, once there, troubling events ensue. A maid is found floating face-down in the stream, and within the house, a thief is preying on Lady Marley's aristocratic guests! One after another of them finds herself the victim of a brazen jewel thief!

Juliette has her suspicions as to the thief's identity, but is possessed of no proof. When one of the lady guests is found tragically murdered, Juliette manages to catch a glimpse of the man as he flees from the scene, but because she found the dead woman, who was also robbed of her jewels, the finger of guilt soon points at Juliette! Fortunately, her handsome gentleman friend Mr. Sheridan is amongst the Marley Chase house guests. Having been dispatched by the Home Office to protect the life of a prominent statesman from a ruthless assassin, Mr. Sheridan and Miss Abbott once again team up to solve both crimes, that of murder and theft. However, when the assassin steps up his game and kidnaps both Miss Abbott and the ambassador, Mr. Sheridan has only moments to act before his lovely lady friend's life is taken from him forever.
