Summer Death At Merangs (en Inglés) - Carole Marples

What's your poison? Cocktails will be the death of me!

It's a balmy summer evening, and I'm living the high life at Buttersley Manor, a special guest of the Dowager Lady Ram. I'm wearing an exquisite vintage dress, and the cocktails are to die for.

But beneath the veneer of gentility runs a sewer of secrets and lies. Sir Galahad enjoys trysts in the rose garden with his glamorous secretary, his wife has a fondness for sharp objects, and the dowager's son is drowning in debt.

In the stifling heat, tempers flare, and I'm drinking far too much gin. Little do I know, it's laced with poison.

I awake from the longest sleep ever, with a killer hangover, and the news that my dear old friend is dead. This was no accident.

Driven by grief and fury, I'm determined to uncover the truth-even if it means stepping straight into danger. Because someone at Buttersley Manor is a killer, and they've already made one mistake. They let me live!
