Golden Flute

Dangerous island cliffs, a lurking murderer, and a pretence at matrimony ...

Pretending to be already married to Lord Beresford is certainly improper, but only if someone discovers it - or so Elinor argues. The honeymoon masquerade will hide their true purpose in travelling to the beautiful island of Sark: to find the missing vampiri roost, and, of course, sample some of the famous French soufflé.

Yet Beresford is being a stickler about their wedding night, the islanders shoot on sight, and Elinor must also find a tiny golden flute to waken the hibernating vampiri. Unfortunately, she cannot divine gold, especially a magical flute the size of a needle.

When Aldreda discovers a dead body in the attic, the hunt to find the missing roost takes on sinister overtones, especially as mysterious mishaps suggest another victim is intended. If only Elinor's charade can hold long enough for her to find the flute, the roost, and the murderer - before the killer strikes again or the 'Beresfords' are thrown off the island in disgrace.

What secrets lie hidden on the isle of Sark? How was the murder done in the attic? And just why do the soufflés keep falling flat? 

The Golden Flute is Book 4 in the Lady Diviner series, another rousing tale of magic, manners, and mystery set in the Regency era.
