مرگ در پاشنه‌های بلند (معماهای خانم مورتیمر، جلد ۲)

Georgianas out of the clink, but is she out of trouble? Its 1928, and fresh from prison, Mrs Mortimer arrives at her uncles ancestral home in the Cotswolds, just in time for the Godfrey Ball, but if she thought her life was about to become any less worrisome, she was wrong. The party turns ugly when one of the guests dies and an unusual manuscript goes missing. The dead mans family is decidedly odd and under suspicion, but is Aunt Shebas fan club as innocent as it seems? Is Bettinas book a blessing or a curse? And will the herb garden survive? In a village full of secrets, Georgiana and her faithful dog Crumpet, are compelled to investigate. (Besides which, they have nothing better to do) A rip-roaring 1920s whodunnit for fans of Agatha Christie and Downton Abbey. This is the second book in the Mrs Mortimer Mystery series, although it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story in its own right.
