* Previously published as The Cairo Brief *'I was torn: I wanted to rush on, to find out what happened next, but I didn't want the book to end - I was enjoying it so much!' Reader review, 5 starsEngland, 1921. Intrepid reporter Poppy Denby is headed to the English countryside to cover an auction of ancient Egyptian treasures, hosted by renowned explorer Sir James Maddox on his beautiful estate - Winterton Hall.

Maddox is auctioning priceless artefacts from his travels, including the death mask of Queen Nefertiti, which is alleged to carry a curse... Poppy is not one to believe in superstition but when an unfortunate 'accident' during the clay-pigeon shooting leaves one of the gun boys badly injured and she finds herself chased while walking the gardens, that's enough for Miss Denby to smell a headline! But when Sir James is found dead it's clear there is more at stake than just a byline.

Is someone out to reclaim the ancient treasures, by any means necessary? And if so is anyone at Winterton Hall safe? Readers are LOVING Murder at Winterton Hall:'...
