"Atkins' deep, melodious voice infuses the air with foreboding as this engaging mystery unfolds. A listening treat for fans of the series."—AudioFile Magazine

A mystery with the fascinating Mitford sisters at its heart, Jessica Fellowes’s The Mitford Secret is the sixth and final intriguing installment in the Mitford Murders series.

It’s 1941, and the Mitford household is splintered by the vicissitudes of war. To bring the clan together—maybe for one last time, Deborah invites them to Chatsworth for Christmas, along with a selection of society’s most impressive and glamorous guests, as well as old family friend Louisa Cannon, a private detective.

One night, a psychic arrives, and to liven things up Deborah agrees she may host a séance. But entertainment turns to dark mystery as the psychic reveals that a maid was murdered in this very same house—and she can prove it.

Louisa steps forward to try to solve the cold case. But with a house full of people who want nothing more than to bury their secrets, will she be able to unmask the murderer? And how deep does the truth lie?

Characters

I love this time of history! WWII in London bombings, destruction, loss of life. Excellent writing!

Perfect End to the Series

This and the 1st book in the series are my favorites. It was a nice way to wrap things up; excellent historical details, descriptions, and flushed out characters, and as always, the narrator was excellent.
