Bøger af Jessica Fellowes

Andet selvstændige bind i Jessica Fellowes bestsellerserie om de seks Mitford-søstre kredser om spændingerne mellem ’upstairs og downstairs’ på de store engelske godser i 1920’erne. De brølende tyvere har for alvor ramt Asthall Manor, og Nancy, den ældste af Mitford-søstrene, bliver hurtigt en del af de unge glamourøse bohemer, der huserer i Londons natteliv. De fester igennem til jazzmusik og skaber avisoverskrifter med deres vilde påfund. Men for tjenestefolkene, der skal rydde op efter aristokratiets unge løver, og ofte også må tage skraldet for deres mere lyssky handlinger, er det hele knap så glamourøst. Da en af gruppens berygtede og vovede natlige skattejagter på godset ender i et brutalt mord, bliver stuepigen Dulcie uden videre anklaget og arresteret. Det bliver dråben for Louisa Cannon, der er ansat på Asthall Manor som søstrenes kombinerede barnepige og selskabsdame. Louisa sætter sig for at rense Dulcie for mistanke, men morderen er måske meget tættere på, end hun tror.

Fans af Daisy Goodwin, Julian Fellowes og Agatha Christie vil elske denne serie om Mitfordmordene, der er bygget på virkelige forbrydelser og skildrer den virkelige Mitford-familie og dens seks excentriske søstre. Året er 1920 og Louisa Cannon drømmer om en vej ud af fattigdommens London, en by, der er hårdt mærket af den netop overståede verdenskrigs rædsler. Louisas redning bliver en ansættelse hos familien Mitford på Asthall Manor i Oxfordshire. Som kombineret barnepige og selskabsdame for de seks Mitfordsøstre får hun adgang til en helt ny og fortryllende verden. Især knytter hun sig til den eventyrlystne og smukke sekstenårige Nancy, den ældste af søstrene, der elsker detektivhistorier og brænder for at opleve verden uden for godset. Men da sygeplejersken Florence Nightingale Shore, der er guddatter til sin berømte navnesøster, myrdes på toget til Hastings, husker Louisa, at hun har set noget i det tog, der måske kunne være af betydning. Sagen vækker opsigt, og snart vikles både Louisa og Nancy ind i en mordgåde, der er lige så spændende, som den er livsfarlig.
