🎩 Fans of Agatha Christie, Downton Abbey, and snarky British sleuthing… brace yourselves.

Your next binge-read is about to sweep in with more charm than a butler carrying afternoon tea and far more bodies.

Meet Lady Darriby-Jones:
An aristocrat with the manners of high society… and the patience of someone who absolutely cannot tolerate murderers or mediocre police work.

Her deduction skills? Razor sharp.
Her tolerance for nonsense? Nonexistent.
Her relationship with the local inspector? A polite disaster.

And for the next few days, all 12 books in the wildly entertaining Lady Darriby-Jones Mystery Series by CM Rawlins are 99c each in a Kindle Countdown deal.

✨ What’s inside these delightfully twisty pages?
• Murder in mansions, gardens, and anywhere someone thinks they can hide a body (spoiler: they can’t)
• A bumbling inspector doing his best—and Lady Darriby-Jones doing better
• British wit so dry, you may need a cup of tea to rehydrate
• Aristocratic drama, family secrets, and scandals served hotter than a scone fresh from the oven
• Clever whodunits that’ll have you shouting, “I knew it!” (…until you didn’t)

Here's what a few cozy mystery fans had to say about the books in this series:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This series is charming and one of the most fun of the many "cozies" I've read. If you enjoy fun characters solving mysteries with a good splash of the preposterous mixed in, you're in for a treat!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Love these mysteries. I started this book and didn’t stop til it was finished. So sad I have to wait weeks for the next one!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "A great series that keeps getting better. A quick fun read that has Lady Darriby-Jones helping the demoted DCI Manners to catch a murderer. A delightful story that has lots of laughs and plenty of red herrings."

These stories are the perfect escape if you love elegant chaos, sharp humor, and mysteries solved by a heroine who refuses to take “no,” “maybe,” or “please stop investigating” for an answer.

⏰ BUT! This 99c deal on Amazon is ticking down faster than an inspector losing track of clues.

FREE to read with a Kindle Unlimited subscription.

‘The Mystery of the Polite Man’ — Book 1 in the Lady Darriby-Jones Mystery series — is FREE for the next few days!
(Yes, darling. FREE. Even more polite than the Polite Man himself. 😉)

Welcome to Darriby Hall, where the tea is hot, the aristocrats are nosy, and the occasional dead body is simply… part of the décor.

Just as Lord Darriby-Jones prepares to wow the world with his groundbreaking talk on—wait for it—limacology (the thrilling study of slugs!), the household descends into delightful disarray. A missing secretary, a newly hired commoner with starry eyes for aristocratic life, and a mute servant who meets a decidedly unfortunate end…

Suddenly, all fingers point to the newest member of staff.
(Welcome to the job! Hope you brought an alibi.)

With the local police chief proving about as useful as a slug in a footrace, Lady Darriby-Jones must don her sleuthing gloves to untangle lies, outwit schemers, and face a killer with impeccable timing.

And for the next few days, you can dive into every scandalous clue for FREE.
Plus, it's FREE with Kindle Unlimited and also available in paperback and hardback if you prefer mysteries you can hold dramatically while gasping.

🎄🔍 NEW RELEASE ALERT! ‘Death in a Red Suit’ is HERE! 🔍🎄
(The perfect murder to unwrap this Christmas…😉)

When Father Christmas is found sitting very still at Strathfulton Castle, one thing is clear: someone’s been very naughty this year.

Countess Maeve Morgan thought her biggest holiday headache would be juggling eccentric guests, snowdrifts, and enough party plans to make an elf quit. But when Santa ends up dead beside the mince pies, the season of goodwill turns into a season of whodunit.

Now, with the local constabulary more focused on sherry than suspects, Maeve must sleigh—er, slay—the case herself. From Lancashire’s coal-dark secrets to a snowbound Scottish manor glittering with lies, she’s racing the clock to stop a killer before Christmas Day dawns… without her.

If she doesn’t crack the case soon?
Let’s just say there’ll be no peace on earth—just one chilling Christmas no one will forget.

🎁 ‘Death in a Red Suit’ is out now!
Available in ebook, paperback, and hardback, and FREE with a Kindle Unlimited subscription.

Go on—treat your TBR to something murderously merry.
Maeve’s waiting… but the killer isn’t. 😉

🎻✨ The stage is set. The spotlight burns bright. And the final note… is murder.

Lady Mildred Ramsay is back — and society’s most glittering night just turned deadly.

London, 1924. The chandeliers of the Royal Albert Hall sparkle, the orchestra hums with anticipation, and all eyes are on Anton Lanyi, Europe’s most celebrated violinist. But when his encore ends in collapse instead of applause, the whispers begin: Poison. Scandal. Murder.

Enter Lady Mildred Ramsay — aristocrat, former wartime nurse, and accidental sleuth with a talent for uncovering what polite society would rather keep buried.

As the music fades, she finds herself tangled in a web of envy, secrets, and betrayal — where every suspect has something to hide, and every note might be a clue.

From glittering ballrooms to shadowed backstage corridors, Mildred must face the truth: in post-war London, death wears silk gloves and smiles sweetly for the camera.

🎩 Murder. Mystery. High society — and a heroine who refuses to play by its rules.

💫 The Mystery of the Vanishing Violinist — Book 3 in the Lady Mildred Ramsay Mystery Series — is out now!
📖 Available in eBook, paperback, and hardback.
💻 Free to read on Kindle Unlimited.

Pour yourself some tea, settle in by the fire, and step into a world where elegance meets intrigue. Get your copy here 👉 👉 https://www.champlinks.com/sl/lr3-fb/

🕵️‍♀️ Case Closed — November Whodunit Solution! 🕵️‍♂️

At Blackthorn Manor, Sir Percival was found dead in the locked conservatory — teacup spilled, watering can nearby, door latched from the inside. A perfect puzzle… or so it seemed.

The killer?
➡️ Captain Edwin Blythe!

He struck Sir Percival, escaped through the high ventilation hatch, then used the missing teaspoon to flip the lock back from the outside — creating a classic “locked room” illusion.

His motive? A rejected financial donation he desperately needed.
His downfall? A polished boot print beneath the hatch — far too military-sharp to ignore.

Brilliant work to everyone who solved it! 👏
New mystery arrives next month — stay ready, detectives. 🔍✨

✅ Shorter & Even Punchier Version

🕵️‍♀️ Whodunit Reveal!

Sir Percival. Conservatory. Locked room. One blow.
Six suspects… but only one trickster.

Killer: Captain Edwin Blythe ✅
Method: Vent hatch escape + teaspoon latch trick
Motive: Desperate for funds, denied donation
Clue that gave him away: His polished officer’s boot print 👢

If you solved it — you’re officially dangerous (in the *detective* sense 😉).

Ready for December’s mystery? 🔍✨

🕵️‍♀️✨ November Whodunit Challenge! ✨🕵️‍♂️
England, 1927 — a chilly night, a grand manor, and one very mysterious death…

Sir Percival Hartley, beloved tea tycoon, took a quiet step into the conservatory after dinner… and moments later was found dead, the door locked from the inside, a spilled teacup and bronze watering can beside him. 🫖🌿

Was it accident… or murder?

And if murder… who could have done it?

🕊️ The Suspects:

💍 Lady Agatha Hartley — elegant wife, strict tea rules, simmering tension
🎖️ Captain Edwin Blythe — war hero, desperate for a large donation
📜 Miss Clara Finch — quiet companion with secret letters
⛪ Rev. Lionel Pritchard — kindly vicar with a locked collection box
🕰️ Mr. Tobias Reed — the butler obsessed with clocks & order
🧼 Mrs. Beatrice Nettle — loyal housekeeper guarding the silver

🔍 Clues to Consider:

• Conservatory locked from the inside
• Sweetened tea (against Lady Agatha’s rules!)
• Missing teaspoon
• Dry watering can used as the weapon
• Footprint from polished boots
• Monogrammed handkerchief (C.F.)
• Torn ledger page + secret payments
• Telegram to “E. Blythe — urgent”
• Garden gate locked … and a sticking service hatch 👀

🧠 Your Mission:

Tell us:

1️⃣ Who killed Sir Percival?
2️⃣ How did they pull off the locked-room trick?
3️⃣ And why?

🗣️ Post your theory in the comments!

Will you crack The Conservatory Conundrum before I reveal the truth? 🗝️🌹

Let the sleuthing begin!
