McKenna, Clara. Stella and Lyndy mystery

Thorndike Press large print softcover cozy mystery

Sequel to: Murder at the Majestic Hotel

American heiress Stella Kendrick and her husband, British aristocrat Viscount "Lyndy" Lyndhurst, prepare to celebrate their first Christmas together as newlyweds in Clara McKenna's latest historical mystery set in England's New Forest region at the turn of the 20th century

Taking on the responsibilities that come with being Lady Lyndhurst, Stella is eager to embrace yuletide traditions in the Edwardian English countryside and use her strong social influence for good. Then items vanish from her bedroom and maligned housekeeper, Mrs. Nelson, becomes seriously ill-- only to be found dead in the cold on Mistletoe Lane. Stella questions whether her own staff knows what-- or who-- killed the woman. When another person dies under strange circumstances during New Forest's annual Point-to-Point Boxing Day race, Stella and Lyndy realize they can't fully trust anyone except for themselves. -- adapted from jacket
