For this week's Can't Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, I'm featuring, The Penford Manor Murders, by Fiona Veitch Smith. I've read the one set in Egypt but this is the latest in the series. I have books one and two on Kindle and it is yet another series I need to read. There are just too many cozy mysteries out there! In this story Miss Clara Vale investigates blackmail and murder while staying at a friend's country house.
I hope you have found something you can't wait for! Happy reading ya'll!

Book description courtesy of Goodreads
It's open season at Penford Manor - and someone has murder in their sights...
At Penford Manor, the guests are arriving to celebrate the start of the grouse-hunting. Lords and ladies, barons and baronesses, a Member of Parliament - and chemistry graduate turned detective, Miss Clara Vale, an old friend of the family. But Clara is no ordinary lady. She's secretly investigating a blackmail plot against Lady Penford herself.
Someone in the house is already up to no good, but when the body of a local trade unionist is found on the grounds, Clara's case gets even more complicated. A clue left by the body links it to the blackmail note.
Who has discovered Lady Penford's secret? Can Clara and her trusted assistant Bella work together to find the murderer? And what do the cornflowers which keep popping up everywhere mean?
Amidst the glittering dresses and sparkling conversation of society, Clara must find the truth - before the killer acts again!
