Description
Alyssa Maxwell's Murder at the Elms is set in 1901 and follows reporter Emma Andrews as she investigates a murder at a grand estate. The victim, a chambermaid, is found dead in a coal tunnel, and a guest's diamond necklace goes missing soon after. As Detective Jesse Whyte enlists Emma's help to solve the case, they uncover dark secrets and deceit within the mansion's walls. The story takes place against the backdrop of a lavish party at The Elms, where guests are entertained by music and marvels of modern technology. However, beneath the surface of luxury and sophistication lies a web of tension and violence. Emma must use her skills to shine a light on the truth behind the murder and theft. As the investigation unfolds, Emma's own life is put under scrutiny, and she must navigate the complex relationships within the mansion to uncover the identity of the killer.
