Murder in the Hidden Room (Woodworth Manor Mystery 1)

Veronica Woodworth left her estate to her granddaughter, Elsie, when she passed away. Now, with the money from the inheritance, Elsie could open her very own flower shop. Her best friend, Dayton, thought the manor guest house would make the perfect bed and breakfast.

Soon after they arrived, the house cat led Elsie right to the missing butler, murdered. All cats could be weird sometimes, but Florent seemed to be weird most of the time. Florent led Elsie straight to a hidden room in the kitchen and even helped her figure out how to open the door. In all of her time playing in the manor, she never knew this room was here. But someone did.

Following clues that sometimes led in circles, Elsie, Dayton, and Florence stumbled upon secrets that the killer did not want revealed and could have led him or her to kill again to cover the tracks.
