Summary

A classic mystery starring the glamorous Mitford sisters and inspired real events, The Mitford Vanishing is the perfect story for fans of Agatha Christie.

1937. War with Germany is dawning and a civil war already raging in Spain. Split across political lines, the six Mitford sisters are more divided than ever. Meanwhile their former maid Louisa Cannon is now a private detective, working with her ex-policeman husband, Guy Sullivan.

Louisa and Guy are surprised when a call comes in from novelist Nancy Mitford requesting that they look into the disappearance of her Communist sister, Jessica, nicknamed Decca. It quickly becomes clear that Decca may have made for the war in Spain - and not alone.

As a second, separate missing person case is opened, Louisa and Guy discover that every marriage has its secrets - but some are more deadly than others....

Brilliant!

What a good writer Jessica Fellowes is! The story is exciting, touching, warming and engrossing. I can't wait for the next book to follow the lives of all the characters that I have become so familiar with.

Very enjoyable

I don't know why I haven't read this before, but if I find more books like this, or by the same author, I will certainly listen to more. A very relaxing read.

Relaxing - but with added intrigue

Such nice writing … good books for relaxing but still enough intrigue to keep one interested. Well written.
