London, 1965. Annabel Staple has inherited a country house - and a mystery. When wealthy and elusive Alec Stanhope dies unexpectedly in his grand country house, the last person to expect to inherit his estate is Annabel Staple - the daughter who thought he had died in WWII. Now named in his will, Annabel finds herself in a world of old money and quiet menace. She soon discovers this inheritance is far from straightforward. A missing fortune, forged cheques, stolen art - and then a murder - suggests her father's death may not have been accidental after all. With only a worn locket and a faded photograph of her mother as a clue, Annabel must navigate the secrets of a family she never knew she had. Alone in a country house full of hidden dangers, she is determined to uncover the truth before she becomes the next victim. Perfect for fans of classic whodunnits and twisty tales of long-buried secrets, The Stanhope Inheritance is the first in the Annabel Staple Mystery series set in the swinging sixties.
