The Ashdown House Murders
About
Professor Annie Briggs is beginning to believe murder has a habit of finding her.
While visiting the magnificent Ashdown House, Annie hears hurried footsteps on the staircase above her.
Seconds later, a young woman falls to her death at Annie’s feet.
When a suicide note is discovered, the case seems tragically straightforward. But someone close to the victim insists she would never have taken her own life.
As recently divorced DI Milo McQueen investigates what lies behind Ashdown’s immaculate façade, he becomes convinced someone is protecting a murderer.
Meanwhile, another gruesome message is sent to Annie, drawing her deeper into an unsolved cold case. As the danger moves closer, Annie and Milo must race to uncover the secrets buried inside Ashdown — and in her late husband’s past — before someone else is silenced.
The second in the gripping Ridgeway Crime Series, The Ashdown House Murders is a British mystery blending police procedural, country-house secrets, buried history and a thread of slow-burn romance. Perfect for fans of L. J. Ross, Elly Griffiths and Joy Ellis.
