THISTLEWOOD MANOR: A SPEAKEASY DEMISE is Book #4 in a charming 1920s cozy mystery series by Fiona Grace, #1 bestselling author of Murder in the Manor, which has over 300 five star reviews!
For centuries, Thistlewood Manor has stood as home to the Montagu family, a beacon to British aristocracy in rural England. But it's 1928, and in this new age of women's rights, Eliza Montagu, 27, a free spirit, has turned her back on her family to live an artist's life in London.
Yet after Eliza is summoned home, she decides to stay (for now) to help her father run the ailing family business. The presence of her childhood best friend, Oliver, also gives her a reason to stay, as she wonders if their unfulfilled romance might ever come to fruition.
With the family fortune dwindling and their business empire on the brink of collapse, Eliza's father needs her. Eliza has no choice but to step up and take control. But her brothers are threatened, and their escalating sibling rivalry builds to a potentially explosive rift. Worse, Eliza's independent, feminist ways create her many enemies among her father's colleagues and employees.
And when one of them, her outspoken rival, turns up dead, all eyes fall on Eliza for the murder.
Can she salvage her family's empire and clear her name at the same time?

A page-turner packed with shocking twists, turns and a mystery that's hard to solve, it will leave you reading late into the night, all while you fall in love with its unforgettable heroine.
Future books in the series will be available soon!
