SOLVED. Adult Manor Mystery, recently released. [s]

[Sneha Pathak (reader_girl_reader)]

I think this book either released in 2022 or 2021.
It is a country house/manor house mystery which is written completely in the form of dialogues.

I had downloaded the sample chapter only, so all i know is the detective is a woman and the reader is her assistant. She has been invited to a manor house, perhaps in Italy, where the head of the household has been murdered shortly before after dinner. She also seems to have some kind of history with the family.

That is all i know from the first sample chapter which also introduced the reader to other characters like the deceased's mother, his sons, a daughter and a few friends who were there for the dinner. And i think it is set around Christmas/New Year Eve.

Maybe The Family Holiday by Shalini Boland?

[Sneha Pathak (reader_girl_reader)]

No, not that one. this one is set in the past. thanks for the suggestion though, Lynda! :)

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... I think it could be this book by Fiona Sherlock where the reader assists the detective to solve a murder.

[Sneha Pathak (reader_girl_reader)]

Oh yes, this is it! Thank you so much, Margaret! :-)
