Set in a grand Welsh estate with a private menagerie, this classic-style whodunnit blends murder, political ambition, and a fearless female duo with all the charm and chaos of a Golden Age mystery.
To solve the theft, they must survive the hunt.
Newly established investigators Flo Hammond and Jessie Circle are summoned to Trelawny House in Wales to recover a priceless coronet before it can trigger a national scandal. The eccentric Viscount Rathbone insists the theft must be solved quietly--and fast.
But among the estate's glamorous guests, ambitious schemers, and curious servants, everyone seems to have a secret. And when the household's animal handler is found dead inside the tiger's enclosure, the search for the stolen coronet takes a far more dangerous turn.
With armed police closing in, tension rising across the estate, and a Bengal tiger loose on the grounds, Flo and Jessie must untangle a web of lies, stolen fortunes, and dangerous ambitions before the killer strikes again. Because at Trelawny House, a stolen coronet is the least of Flo and Jessie's worries.
The Tiger and the Coronet is Book Two in the Hammond and Circle Mysteries by A.G. Barnett, perfect for readers who love classic-style whodunnits, country-house murder mysteries, and clever amateur sleuths.
