Buried Secrets at Mulberry Manor: Murder, Inheritance, and a Deadly Family Secret

About Buried Secrets at Mulberry Manor: Murder, Inheritance, and a Deadly Family Secret

After a public scandal wrecks her London auction career, Clementine “Clemmie” Hart returns to Bramble Cross to help her Aunt Tilda save the family estate-sale business. One successful house sale at Mulberry Manor could keep Hart & Home afloat. Instead, it delivers a corpse.

When the owner of Mulberry Manor is found dead in his locked silver pantry on preview night, the sale descends into chaos. Then a handwritten codicil vanishes, turning one suspicious death into a vicious fight over land, money, and a house half the town seems desperate to control. For Clemmie, this is more than a murder case.

If Hart & Home takes the blame for the missing document and the scandal around the sale, the business will fold, and her last chance to rebuild her life will go with it. But the deeper Clemmie digs, the uglier Mulberry Manor becomes. Resentful heirs, a nervous housekeeper, a land-hungry developer, and the town’s most respectable preservation figures all have something to hide.

And Clemmie’s sharp eye for antiques, papers, and what does not quite fit soon tells her this murder is not just about inheritance. It is about secrets someone has been burying for years.
