Rules of Murder (The Drew Farthering Mysteries Book 1) (Paperback)

From the tip of his black Homburg hat to the crease in his cheviot trousers, he’s the epitome of a stylish 1930s English gentleman. His only problem? The body he’s just discovered.
Drew Farthering loves a good mystery, although he generally expects to find it in the pages of a novel, not on the grounds of his country estate. With the help of beautiful and whip-smart Madeline Parker, visiting from America, Drew proposes to use the lessons he’s learned reading mysteries in order to solve the crime. Before long, he realizes this is no lark, and no one at Farthering Place is who he appears to be — not the blackmailer, not the adulterer, not the embezzler, and not even Drew himself. Trying hard to remain one step ahead of the killer — and trying harder to impress Madeline — Drew must decide how far to take this dangerous game.
