Gone West (Daisy Dalrymple Series, Book #20) by Carola Dunn
In the autumn of 1926, Sybil Sutherby finds herself in an unenviable position. When her employer, the novelist Humphrey Birtwhistle, took ill, Sybil assumed his pseudonym while he recovered, only to see the sales, and hence the advances, increase. Now she fears that someone in the household is poisoning Birtwhistle to keep him ill and to keep Sybil writing the better-paying versions. Sybil calls in her old friend and schoolmate, the Honourable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher, to investigate. But before Daisy can get decently underway, Birtwhistle dies under suspicious circumstances, and she faces a death to untangle, a house full of suspects, and, perhaps most daunting, a Scotland Yard detective -- her husband, Alec Fletcher -- who's less than pleased to find Daisy in the middle of it all.
