A masked killer. A horrible death. And a mysterious fortune teller who foretold it all.
A masquerade ball is thrown at Grimsthorpe Manor to honor Lady Vivienne Harlowe and Sheriff Zachariah Fitch. But upon arrival, they are soon reminded that trouble follows them wherever they go and danger lurks in every shadow.
In the midst of merrymaking, the Lord of Grimsthorpe Manor is found strangled and set on fire, but no one understands why as he was liked by all. Now, what began as a joyous celebration leads to another murder investigation for the duo of Harlowe and Fitch.
A fortune teller warned that death would mar the night's revels, a prediction that leaves Vivienne no choice but to fear for her own safety when her card reading is not at all what she expects.
With everyone masked and in costume, it isn't easy to find a witness to the crime. Worse, a killer is on the loose and the eerie streets of Grimsthorpe make even their hometown of Mablethorpe's dangerous Rotten Row seem tame.
Murder at the Masquerade continues Elizabeth Rose's acclaimed Harlowe & Fitch Historical Mystery series with a darkly atmospheric tale of deception, prophecy, and violence hidden behind finery. Set against the eerie grandeur of a medieval estate, this installment blends suspense, period detail, and relentless tension into a mystery where no face can be trusted.
Perfect for readers who love:
- historical mysteries with a strong investigative duo
- gothic manor settings, masquerade balls, and locked-room atmosphere
- darkly atmospheric whodunits with prophecy, secrets, and menace
- amateur sleuth stories with romantic tension and period detail
- Deanna Raybourn, Tasha Alexander, and Verity Bright
- murder mysteries where everyone is masked and no one can be trusted
