Death at Francis Court Now Confirmed as Murder!
Speculation is rife that the victim, estate manager Alex Sterling (44), was found by Lady Beatrice (35), the Countess of Rossex, niece of King James. Lady Beatrice, who has finally come out of hiding following her son’s departure to boarding school, has been managing the project to refurbish and redesign the Events Suite at Francis Court, alongside Perry Juke.
Heading up the murder investigation is Detective Chief Inspector Richard Fitzwilliam. Rumour has it that he and Lady Beatrice have a fractious history…
Awful man! How dare Fitzwilliam suggest Lady Beatrice’s sister is the number one suspect for Alex’s murder. It could be any one of the staff who were on-site that morning. Well, she’ll show Mr High and Mighty Fitzwilliam! With her attention to detail, her clever dog Daisy, Perry’s imagination, and his partner’s contacts at Fenshire CID, they’ll find the murderer before him.
Unless the murderer finds her first…

Author Bio –
Hello. I’m Helen Golden. I write British contemporary cozywhodunnits with a hint of humour. I live in small village in Lincolnshire in the UK with my husband, my step-daughter, her two cats, our two dogs, sometimes my step-son, and our tortoise.
I used to work in senior management, but after my recent job came to a natural end I had the opportunity to follow my dreams and start writing. It’s very early in my life as an author, but so far I’m loving it.
It’s crazy busy at our house, so when I’m writing I retreat to our caravan (an impulsive lockdown purchase) which is mostly parked on our drive. When I really need total peace and quiet, I take it to a lovely site about 15 minutes away and hide there until my family runs out of food or clean clothes

Why Should You Read This?
I have been fortunate enough to be reading some good cozy mysteries recently. Spruced for Murder is definitely an addition to the list. It is hilarious, emotional, joyful, and heart wrenching. The story is a roller coaster of emotions, and is fabulously written. Extremely well-paced, this book was a page turner. I have rarely come across female characters who can demand respect, without appearing whiny. Lady Rossex does that for me. The character is well-written with an excellent character arc. All of the characters mentioned in the book – Fitzwilliam, Perry, Simon, Daisy, or Sarah – all have unique personalities, and the author has brought them to life through the book.
Daisy – Lady Rossex’s terrier wins my heart. What else can one expect from a dog? Be it in reality or fiction, they always manage to steal our hearts. I can’t wait to read the second installment, and am already rooting for Lady Roses and Fitzwilliam. A five star read, and a definite recommendation for cozy mystery lovers, who also enjoy stories around royal families.
