THE MITFORDS AT WAR It's 1941, and the Mitford household is splintered by the vicissitudes of war. To bring the clan together - maybe for one last time - Deborah invites them to Chatsworth for Christmas, along with a selection of society's most impressive and glamorous guests, as well as old family friend Louisa Cannon, a private detective. One night, a psychic arrives, and to liven things up Deborah agrees she may host a séance. But entertainment turns to dark mystery as the psychic reveals that a maid was murdered in this very same house - and she can prove it. Louisa steps forward to try to solve the cold case. But with a house full of people who want nothing more than to bury their secrets, will she be able to unmask the murderer? And how deep does the truth lie?

I just finished The Mitford secret by Jessica Fellowes and here is my review.
With world war 2 in full swing, Deborah feels it's time to bring family and the social well to dos together for christmas. She also invites an old family friend, Louisa who is now a private investigator.
One night a lady arrives with a message... The message leads them to find a bloody cap. Inviting the psychic back for a seance leads to the discovery that a maid was murdered in the house and psychic, well she can prove it. How deep does the truth go and can Louisa work out who did it while everyone actively works to conceal their own truths?
I love a good cozy mystery and this book was the ending to a wonderful series! You cannot help but be charmed by Deborah and Louisa. I loved the pace of the book and the ending was perfect! I have a really soft spot for books set in manor houses and the descriptive language was on point. This is one of my favorite crossover genres, historical mystery. This series was so well done and the writing is exceptional!
The mystery was so well weaved, I was never sure what the truth was. Love books like this. A gentle whisper of a mystery book! If you need a new series in your life, then pick this one up today!
