The third book in the hit The Mitford Murders series sees maid Louisa Cannon accompany Diana Mitford in turbulent late 1920s Europe, where everything is on the line . . . even your life

Året er 1919, og Louisa Cannon drømmer om å slippe unna fattigdommen i London, og ikke minst sin brutale og undertrykkende onkel. Redningen blir en jobb som barnepike hos familien Mitford på Asthall Manor i Oxfordshire. Aller mest knyttet blir hun til seksten år gamle Nancy Mitford - en oppvakt ung jente som elsker en god historie. Men da sykepleiersken Florence Nightingale Shore blir myrdet på et tog, finner Nancy og amatørdetektiven Louisa ut at i England etter den store krigen har alle noe å skjule...Serien MITFORD-MORDENE er basert på virkelige, uløste forbrytelser, og på livene til de glamorøse Mitford-søstrene. Det er planlagt seks bøker i serien, og Mysteriet på Asthall er den første.

Ny bok i serien om Mitford-søstrene - en klassisk krimserie med smak av Agatha Christie, Downton Abbey og mellomkrigstidens glamour. Mitford-søstrene dras inn i kretsen rundt Londons Bright Young Things - de unge, blaserte og festglade menneskene som avisene elsker å skrive skandalehistorier om. Da Pamela Mitford fyller atten, bestemmer de seg for å arrangere skattejakt, men det ender tragisk idet den karismatiske, men ikke spesielt sympatiske Adrian Curtis faller i døden fra et kirketårn. Politiet konkluderer raskt med at det er tjenestejenta Dulcie som står bak drapet. Hun har sine egne grunner til å hate Adrian Curtis. Men Louisa Cannon, som er Mitford-jentenes selskapsdame og selv tidligere kriminell, er sikker på at Dulcie er uskyldig, og at den virkelige morderen finnes like i nærheten. Serien Mitford-mordene er basert på virkelige, uløste forbrytelser, og på livene til de glamorøse, berømte og beryktede Mitford-søstrene. Det er planlagt seks bøker i serien, og Strålende unge døde er den andre.
