Miss Busby Investigates Book 5: The Mystery of the Midnight Swan

A young man died, consumed by fire. There was no evidence of crime, but suspicions persist. Julian Courtauld had raised hackles, not that he cared. Rich, confident and handsome, he saw a glittering future for himself. He was a budding playwright, he had girls swooning at his feet despite just becoming engaged to a dazzling heiress. And then the fire ended it all.

Five years later a parcel arrives on Miss Busby's doorstep. The anonymous letter begs for her help. Julian Courtauld was murdered, the letter writer is convinced the evidence is hidden within the pages of Julian's play, but they haven't been able to decipher them. Perhaps Miss Busby can? Charred pages are included in the parcel. It's the play, or what's left of it.

Miss Busby and Adeline must piece together the secrets woven into the script. But someone else remembers that fire — and they’ll do anything to keep the truth from surfacing.
