Murder At Mullings--A 1930s Country House Murder Mystery (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Once past the initial shock, George Bird’s thoughts concentrated on Florence, as conversations buzzed around him. What would she make of His Lordship marrying again? Was she worrying that the new Lady Stodmarsh would insist on changes that would turn Mullings inside out? Despite the passage of time since Florence had severed ties between them, a day rarely went by when George didn’t think of her and hope she was getting along all right. He still had his little chats with his departed wife Mabel, but these didn’t bring the comfort they once had; instead they brought home to him the depth of his loneliness. Far from a conceited man, he’d believed Florence had grown fond of him. So what had happened? Her explanation hadn’t rung true. He could still picture her face; it had been etched with anxiety. Had she guessed on the drive back from her mother’s home that he’d come to love her and, not being able to reciprocate, decided the kindest thing possible was cutting off any hope of a shared future?
