Murder at Kelsey Hall by Elizabeth Schroer

Set at the end of the 19th century this vintage detective novella is a charming story. Maggie is a writer of detective stories. She is slightly unorthodox and always on the lookout for fresh material for her stories. She is not popular in certain circles as she has used easily recognizable characters and their stories in her novels. Her friend and companion Anna is the more conservative type considering the niceties of society and always trying to keep Maggie on what she considers is the correct path. Their invitation to a country house for a weekend turns on its head when first one lady gets murdered and this is followed by another. The fact that both ladies were having openly acknowledged liaisons with other men was surprising in the strait laced society they belonged to but apparently not to the party in the house!

Maggie is delighted, Anna less so when they are approached by Inspector Blake and Doctor MacGregor to assist them in their investigation in the house. The ending was surprising as well and rather twisted too! This was a free download from Amazon.
