House parties are all harmless flirtation until a guest turns up dead in the ornamental fountain and the household bell only rings for fire or death.

Miss Eliza Fairburn comes to Foxglove Court for respectable employment, not village scandal: companion to Lady Ashcombe, watcher of tedious card parties, and firmly resolved not to be impressed by the Marquess of Rothley or his inconveniently blue eyes. Then his charming cousin is found with a broken neck in the fountain court, three years after a steward's son "accidentally" fell from the west gallery, and everyone suddenly prefers the word misadventure. It is remarkable how many people find murder inconvenient for their social calendar.

As inquests are tidied, gossip sharpens, and snow whitens every potentially guilty footprint, Eliza finds herself allied with a battle hardened colonel, a terrifyingly shrewd aunt, and a marquess who refuses to hide behind his title. Did Simon Leigh simply slip, did someone give him a helpful shove, and what, precisely, is Eliza prepared to risk for the one man in the house who insists on the truth? Murder is very bad manners, but extremely useful for sorting the guest list.

Originally written as the novella that launched Marisa Paxon's world of murder, manners, and romance, Murder at Foxglove Court is a gripping cozy Regency mystery: slow burn, closed door, darkly comic, and ideal for Kindle Unlimited readers who love clever, romantic historical whodunits and want to see exactly where it all began.
