A lively, well-written, entertaining whodunit The Times on The Mitford Murders

Lose yourself in the first novel of a new series of Golden Age mysteries featuring the glamorous Mitford sisters. Set in 1919, Louisa Cannon dreams of escaping her impoverished life in London and her dangerous uncle. Her salvation comes when she secures a position in the Mitford household at Asthall Manor, where she becomes nurserymaid, chaperone, and confidante to the sisters, especially the witty and story-loving sixteen-year-old Nancy. When Florence Nightingale Shore, a nurse and goddaughter of the famous Florence Nightingale, is murdered on a train in broad daylight, Nancy and Louisa embark on an investigation, uncovering the secrets that everyone seems to hide in postwar England. Written by Jessica Fellowes, known for the bestselling Downton Abbey books, this captivating tale is perfect for fans of Daisy Goodwin, Anthony Horowitz, and Agatha Christie, drawing inspiration from a real unsolved crime. With its blend of intrigue and charm, this novel offers a delightful escape, reminiscent of a Sunday-night period drama, making it a must-read for those seeking indulgent storytelling.

The Chronicles of Downton Abbey, carefully pieced together at the heart and hearth of the ancestral home of the Crawleys, takes readers deeper into the story of every important member of the Downton estate. This new book focuses on each character individually, examining their motivations, their actions, and the inspirations behind them

It's 1941, and the Mitford household is splintered by the vicissitudes of war.

Set amid the legendary Mitford household, The Mitford Murders is a thrilling golden age-style mystery audiobook, based on a real unsolved murder, by Jessica Fellowes, author of the New York Times best-selling Downton Abbey books

It's 1924 and there have been many changes in the world of Downton Abbey since we were first welcomed by the family and their servants twelve years ago. A generation of men has been tragically lost at the front, there are once again children breathing new life into the great house, a chauffeur now sits at the Grantham dinner table and hems are up by several inches. Yet despite all of this unsettling upheaval, it is a comfort to find that many things at Downton remain largely unchanged. There are still parties to be thrown, summer fetes to be organised, menus to be planned and farms to be run. Join us, then, as we explore the seasonal events and celebrations of the great estate - Christmas, Easter, the debutante season, the hunt and more - and peer with us through the prism of the house as we learn more about the lives of our favourite characters, the actors who play them, and those who create the world we love so much. Packed full of exclusive new photography and brimming with traditional British recipes for each calendar month, such as Eton mess and sloe gin, this beautiful book takes us on a fascinating journey through a year in the life of Downton Abbey.

'Come war and peace Downton still stands and the Crawleys are still in it.' Downton Abbey is loved the world over for its fabulous costumes, beautiful scenery, wonderful characters and intricate plot lines, but what keeps millions of us coming back time after time is the stellar quality of the writing. With each stroke of his pen Julian Fellowes seems to gift us with a cuttingly dry quip from the Dowager Countess, a perfectly timed word of wisdom from Mrs Patmore or a touchingly nostalgic pronouncement from Carson. Here in the The Wit and Wisdom of Downton Abbey, Jessica Fellowes has gathered together her favourite quotes from the complete Downton Abbey oeuvre to take each of us back to the most memorable moments from the show and ensure we are armed with the very best ripostes should we ever need to chastise an impertinent lady's maid.

"The World of Downton Abbey" is a lavish look at the real world--both the secret history and the behind-the-scenes drama--of the spellbinding Masterpiece TV series, "Downtown Abbey."

The newly married and most beautiful of the Mitford sisters, Diana, hot-steps around Europe with her husband and fortune heir Bryan Guinness, accompanied by maid Louisa Cannon, as well as some of the most famous and glamorous luminaries of the era. But murder soon follows, and with it, a darkness grows in Diana's heart...

The latest novel in the highly acclaimed Mitford Murders series is inspired by real events and is perfect reading for Agatha Christie fans dying for a new mystery.

In the final, sixth whodunnit in the much-acclaimed The Mitford Murders series, Deborah Devonshire hosts a party at Chatsworth at which a murder is revealed . . .
