Mistletoe and Murder (Daisy Dalrymple Series, Book #11) by Carola Dunn
It is December 1923, and the formidable Dowager Viscountess Dalrymple has decreed that for Christmas, the family will all gather at Brockdene in Cornwall at the invitation of Lord Westmoor. So her daughter, the Honourable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher, and Daisy's husband, Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard, must spend their Christmas holiday trapped in an ancestral estate with a rich history of lore, ghost stories, rumors of hidden treasure, and secret passageways, with a family seething with resentments, grudges, and a faintly scandalous history.
The veneer of civility that pervades the halls of Brockdene begins to wear thin when long-held family secrets threaten to bubble over, and one of the Christmas guests is found savagely murdered. With too few clues as to who committed the murder and with too many motives as to why, it is up to Daisy to sort out the truth that lies beneath a generation of poisonous secrets.
