A picnic by the lake, an unexpected body and a manor filled with secrets.

When Rex Sutherland and his employer, Eleanor, the Dowager Duchess of Drakeford, stumble upon a body during an afternoon picnic at Bircham Manor, the Dowager's instincts for sleuthing spring to life. Rather than let a little murder spoil the festivities, she summons her trusted friend, Scotland Yard's Inspector Whipple, to help investigate.

Invited for a weekend of high tea and high society by her friend Colonel Crispen Percival-Travers, the Dowager now faces a lineup of sophisticated suspects. Love triangles, bitter rivalries, and an endless stream of manor gossip soon reveal themselves, leaving the unlikely trio with more than a few theories. But when a second body is found and a mysterious gentleman arrives with a veiled threat, the stakes become deadlier by the hour.

With wit, charm, and more than a few cream fancies to sustain them, Rex, the Dowager, and Whipple must unravel the clues in time. Will they solve the mystery before the weekend is over?

Dive into A Posh Murder, a deliciously opulent 1920s whodunit filled with intrigue, high-society scandals, and all the cozy charm of a classic Christie-style mystery.

Praise for the Rex and Dowager

I absolutely love this book; it's well written, clever, and funny. I hope Keith Finney writes many more stories about Rex and HG.

Can't wait for the next one!

...a page-turner from start to finish.

Once again, Keith has written a very entertaining tale centered around the aristocracy, but this time set in 1922.

Wow, Keith... words fail me.
