Reporter Iris Woodmore lands a headline story when, for the first time, two women compete against each other in an election to become Britain’s next female MP. But she’s forced to confront her past as the House of Commons is where her mother, Violet, died during a suffragette attack on Parliament in 1914. Iris believed her mother died accidentally after falling into the River Thames – until a waterman tells her he witnessed what really happened. Violet Woodmore didn’t fall – she jumped. Iris searches for the suffragette who was with her mother on that fateful day – only to find she disappeared from Crookham Hall six years earlier. Desperate to know the truth behind that fatal jump, Iris discovers the ancestral home is hiding secrets and lies that inevitably lead to murder... The first book in the Iris Woodmore cozy crime series. Previously published as The Suffragette’s Daughter '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, author of Murder by Invitation '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, author of King of Kings '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, author of the Flora Maguire Mysteries ‘Death at Crookham Hall is a lovely, murder mystery by a gifted writer.’ Helena Dixon, author of Murder at the Village Fair What real readers are saying: 'Well written, with complex characters ... a thoughtful and compelling story ... readers of the Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear might like this book.' "What a great book! Highly recommend this book to anyone who likes historical fiction and a twisty plot." “...a real page turner... couldn't put it down. So much so that I stayed up until the early hours to find out what happens. The ending did not disappoint. A thoroughly enjoyable novel.” “The writer's attention to detail and historical fact was very good... characters are well drawn and believable... I would thoroughly recommend.” “1920s at its best...When you get to the end of a book and feel sad that the book is finished, you know you have just read a worthwhile story. The characters are brilliantly written and swept me along.”
