The Case of the Missing Bride
Synopsis
Kimberley Manor, 1922
John Wodehouse, future Earl of Kimberley, is about to be married. But the household is thrown into disarray when his bride-to-be, Lady Frances Margaret Montagu, mysteriously disappears, leaving behind only her bloodied gloves.
Posing as a wedding guest, time-travelling detective Georgiana Darcy proceeds directly to the missing bride’s bedchamber, which has been left in a state of scrupulous tidiness. There she finds one of the other guests, a young woman named Agatha Christie, already searching the room for evidence of foul play.
But can Georgiana trust Mrs Christie to help her find the bride before the veil of aristocratic decorum unravels, leaving her own life in peril?
The Case of the Missing Bride is a cosy tale of mystery and intrigue from Amelia Blackwell, where the glittering facade of high society conceals a labyrinth of hidden desires, lies, and loss.
