Lady Cecelia Pembroke has solved four murders. She never expected the fifth one to be waiting behind a locked garden gate.
When Cecelia arrives at Wisteria House for a quiet weekend of sorting old estate papers, the last thing she expects is a wisteria-draped manor hiding thirty years of buried scandal. But on her very first night, the master of the house is found dead at the foot of a locked orangery, a ring of garden keys missing, and a half-burned map curling in the study grate. The map shows one thing clearly: a section of garden marked Do Not Open.
The local constable says it was an accident. Cecelia knows better, especially once her oldest friend becomes the family's most convenient suspect. As she digs through decades-old letters, a forbidden love affair, and a family secret nobody was ever meant to find, every clue leads back to the sealed garden and the summer everything went wrong.
With her grey tabby Pebble refusing to leave her side (and occasionally leading her straight to the evidence), Cecelia must untangle a web of debts, disputed inheritances, and thirty years of careful silence before an innocent woman pays for someone else's crime. And with dashing Inspector Miles Hartley working the case alongside her, this investigation might just unlock more than old family secrets.
Blending amateur sleuthing, slow-burn romance, and the charm of a 1920s English village, Murder at Wisteria House is a fair-play whodunit filled with heart, wit, and a garden full of secrets.
