A Blighter Is Bumped Off is the latest novel from author Helen Golden. It is the fourth book in The Duchess of Stortford Mysteries series.
The only thing worse than a persistent suitor? A dead one on your lawn.
London, 1892. Alice, Duchess of Stortford, has returned to town determined to enjoy her first Season as a wealthy widow. But instead of balls, flirtation, and whispered gossip, she finds herself besieged by ambitious bachelors—none more persistent than the insufferably smooth-talking Miles Fonthill. When Alice firmly refuses his sudden proposal, she assumes the matter is settled.
Instead, he turns up dead in her garden.
The police are happy to call it a tragic accident. Alice is less convinced.
Why was Miles climbing over her garden wall in the middle of the night? Why had he become so determined to win her favour? And what did he really want?
As Alice begins to dig into Miles’ final days, her search leads her into the glittering heart of London society, where old loyalties run deep, secrets are guarded fiercely, and reputation matters more than truth. But when whispers of the mysterious Order of the Golden Key begin circling dangerously close to her own late husband’s name, Alice realises Miles’ death may be far more complicated than one unwelcome suitor meeting an unfortunate end.
And if someone is willing to kill to keep their secrets…this Season may prove positively deadly.
A Blighter Is Bumped Off is a very fun read. What does one do when they find a recently jilted suitor dead in their garden? Well investigate, of course, and that is exactly what Alice does. What follows is a humorous story full of misdirection that really does keep you on your toes.
It’s one of those books where the characters soon feel like friends, the mystery is compelling and full of twists that is an uttter delight to read.
