Dead Matters: A British Detective Mystery - Paperback

by Eva MacLean (Author)

Some family secrets are written in blood.

A fairytale marriage. A wealthy family. A strange mother-in-law.

Maybe it was always going to end in murder.

Effie Watson thought she had it made when she married Hugo Fincham. He was rich and good-looking with an exclusive central London home. But marriage to Hugo has drawn her into the orbit of a wealthy, dysfunctional family with a dark secret at its core.

When Effie confides to her best friend that Hugo is trying to kill her, no one believes her.

As bodies begin to pile up, Detective Inspector Miranda Murphy must unravel a decade-old mystery before the Fincham family claims another victim. But in a world where money buys silence, even the truth has a price.

Dead Matters is the first installment in the Detective Miranda Murphy Series, a must-read for fans of police procedurals and murder mysteries.
