Genre: Cozy Mystery
Quiet as a Nun (Jemima Shore #1):
When a murder takes place in a secluded tower at Blessed Eleanor’s Convent in Sussex and the victim is an old school friend, Britain’s most popular TV reporter Jemima Shore finds herself in the middle of a disturbing puzzle. The dead woman, a nun, was to inherit one of the largest fortunes in Britain. Jemima walks into the eye of a worldly storm of fear – and the more she learns, the clearer it becomes that more lives, including her own, are being threatened.
The Wild Island (Jemima Shore #2):
As Jemima Shore, Investigator, arrives at Inverness Station for a Highland holiday, the sun is shining. Paradise, she thinks. But at that moment, she hears a voice: "All this way for a funeral."
So begins an adventure far removed from Jemima’s visions of heather-covered hills, crystal-clear streams, romantic men in kilts, fairy-tale castles. Instead she is plunged into the strange world of the aristocratic Beauregard family with its tensions, jealousies and violence. The setting is the Wild Island itself, sometimes enchanting but too often frighteningly remote, the streams, not silvery, but brown and sinister; her holiday home with its disturbing influence; the people — none of them quite what they seem.
A Splash of Red (Jemima Shore #3):
The acclaimed English biographer Lady Antonia Fraser is also a talented mystery writer whose QUIET AS A NUN was filmed for the "Mystery" series on public television. Now back in print, Fraser’s third Jemima Shore mystery presents the intrepid and glamorous detective confronting sinister doings in a Bloomsbury penthouse.
Cool Repentance (Jemima Shore #4):
Celebrated actress Christabel Cartwright trades her country house, its staff of servants, and her husband for a reckless affair. She also thought she could resume her career–her director was delighted, and so was Megalith Television. But one person in Christabel’s circle had doubts.
What happens next is murder, and it brings Jemima Shore, the author’s elegant alter ego, into the fray. She trails her man (or is it woman?) through the thickets of human emotion.
Oxford Blood (Jemima Shore #5):
In this tale Jemima is reluctantly shooting a TV exposé — "Golden Lads and Girls" — on the exotic lifestyles of overprivileged undergraduates. Among them is Lord Saffron, the wealthy, twenty-year-old heir to the former foreign secretary. When a confession by a dying midwife throws Saffron’s birth and bloodline into doubt, Jemima’s interest in the documentary perks up considerably. Then a student is murdered, drawing Jemima into a case that will demand the utmost of her skills of detection.
Your Royal Hostage (Jemima Shore #6):
"We don’t want to hurt her. We must remember that. All of us. She is after all innocent – Well, isn’t she ? " With these words the leader of the secret group tries to establish the ground rules of its conspiracy concerning the bride, HRH Princess Amy of Cumberland, a 22-year-old British Princess about to marry the somewhat older and slightly dissipated European Prince Ferdinand. But there is more than one kind of innocence, and as preperations for the Royal Wedding advance, the group evidently has in mind some gesture which will call attention to the rights and wrongs of those who have no voice of their own.
The Cavalier Case (Jemima Shore #7):
Bestselling author Fraser combines her passion for history with her wickedly readable fiction in her most glittering Jemima Shore mystery yet. It seems a 17-century viscount has been stepping out of his portrait–just before the violent death of his 16th successor. While a bitter family feud ensues and the body count rises, Shore hopes to unmask a flesh and blood killer.
Jemima Shore at the Sunny Grave and Other Stories (Jemima Shore #9):
A collection of Antonia Fraser’s compelling stories exploring the dark hearts and lethal secrets of criminals. This collection features the tale of the jealous wife who engineers revenge for the lovers who wronged her.
