Book Description

MURDER AT MEDLEY PARK is the fourth book in best-selling author Marilyn Clay's Juliette Abbott Regency Mystery Series. WHAT HAPPENS when clever young Miss Juliette Abbott accepts an assignment to catalogue the precious artifacts belonging to the wealthy Lord and Lady Medley at their country estate? First, a stable lad is found murdered and soon thereafter Lady Medley's entire collection of valuable jewels is discovered missing! Following another tragic murder, Juliette is drawn into the mystery when it becomes known that she was the last person to see the deceased alive and a valuable item belonging to that person is found in her bedchamber! Among the suspects on Juliette's list are the attractive housekeeper, a prim governess who believes it's her duty to correct everyone's behavior, a pair of handsome gentleman twins, a visiting cousin who has no proof that she truly is a cousin and two meddlesome children who torture kittens. When Juliette receives an ominous threat on her life, she knows that time is running out. Can she expose the killer, or will she find her neck in a noose as payment for both the theft and murders at Medley Park? Once again Miss Abbott proves to be a first-rate sleuth as she sorts out the mystery against all odds and a final terrifying attempt on her life!
