Mansion & Murder Donna Muse

Iris Reeve's young niece, Nanette, invites Iris and Geneva Pomolo to a birthday party at a lavish estate belonging to Leandra Bosworth. Leandra is a society lady renowned in the community for her charitable work, and she is also Nanette's boss. Iris and Geneva-both of them amateur sleuths-are expecting a relaxing weekend getaway in rural Indiana. But the Bosworth household proves to be anything but relaxing. There's the aggressive ex-boyfriend who is still hanging around... the daughter who is secretive, anxious, and high-strung... and the teenage granddaughter who seems entirely too invested in boys... Iris and Geneva hope to quietly slip away after the party, but things take a dark turn when Leandra is found strangled in her office. Everyone at the party has a reason for wanting her dead, and all of them are suspects. As the two women attempt to unpeel the layers of the crime, they uncover mystery after mystery. What exactly has the security guard been doing in the family guest house? What secret is the granddaughter hiding? Who has been blackmailing various members of the Bosworth family? As signs point more and more to Nanette's role in the murder, Iris and Geneva must work overtime to exonerate her before she's imprisoned for a crime she didn't commit.
