A country house, a dead guest, and a mystery to untangle... Mary Blake spent years playing a brilliant TV detective… until her fiftieth birthday saw her replaced by a younger star. Career over. Spotlight gone. Or so she thought. When her brother invites her to a murder mystery party at the family estate, Mary expects an evening of harmless theatrics and awkward reunions. But when the “game” turns deadly and Mary’s glamorous replacement is found murdered in a locked room, fiction becomes terrifyingly real, and Mary becomes the prime suspect. With her loyal brother and her sharp, unflappable assistant Dot at her side, Mary must swap scripts for sleuthing and prove she’s more than just a TV detective. Because this time, if she doesn’t solve the mystery… there’s no second take. ‘An Invitation to Murder’ is the first in the Mary Blake Mysteries by AG Barnett - a charming, character-driven cosy mystery filled with wit, intrigue, and a heroine you won’t want to miss.
