Lady Elfrida is restored to the royal court, and to her son and his ever-growing family. Tasked with raising her grandchildren, Lady Elfrida understands the honour her son has endowed her with, even while it forces her to stay distant from the day to day running of the court.Æthelred, free of all meddling influences from his youth, takes steps to undo his childish mistakes, but despite the success of the peace accord with king Olaf of Norway, England is still a too tempting target for Raiders keen to make their fortune, and Æthelred, even now, is not the warrior king his father was.As the years pass, Lady Elfrida appreciates that her power and influence has grown, not diminished, as she holds the key to the future in the shape of her grandsons and granddaughters. But she must face one more trial to ensure the future of England. And this one might just be impossible to surmount for England's first queen, dowager queen, and now, the grandmother of the future of the House of Wessex.The King's Mother is the first part of a trilogy.Suggested reading order: The King's MotherThe Queen DowagerOnce A QueenPraise for The King's Mother."An excellent read about a strong, intelligent woman!!"

From the author of The Erdington Mysteries, a classic 1930s murder mystery house party.Lady Merryweather has had a shocking year. Apprehended for the murder of her husband the year before, and only recently released, she hopes a trip away from London will allow her to grieve. The isolated, but much loved, Cragside Estate in North Northumberland, home of her friends, Lord and Lady Bradbury, holds special memories for her.But, no sooner has she arrived than the body of one of the guests is found on the estate, and suspicion immediately turns on her. Perhaps, there are no friendships to be found here, after all.Released, due to a lack of evidence, Lady Ella returns to Cragside only to discover a second murder has taken place in her absence, and one she can't possibly have committed.Quickly realising that these new murders must be related to that of her beloved husband, Lady Merryweather sets out to solve the crime, once and for all. But there are many who don't want her to succeed, and as the number of murder victims increases, the possibility that she might well be the next victim, can't be ignored.Journey to the 1930s Cragside Estate, to a period house-party where no one is truly safe, and the estate is just as deadly as the people.
