death in the aviary

VICTORIA DOWD

On New Year’s Eve 1928, nine members of the Ravenswick
household stepped into a vast, ornate lift installed to aid the head
of the family. The power failed. The lift stopped. A single shot was fired. And when the lights returned, the heir to the Ravenswick fortune, Charles, was dead.

December 1929: young back-room journalist Charlotte Blood arrives at a now-isolated Ravenswick Abbey to report on the family’s infamous ravens. Her real interest lies in solving the impossible murder. She must unravel the mystery and with it the terrible truth behind the Ravenwicks. Her search will not only lead her down a dangerous path, it will reveal some of the dark secrets that lurk in her own life...

VICTORIA DOWD is the award- winning author of the bestselling Smart Woman’s Mystery series. In 2021, her debut novel in the
series, The Smart Woman’s Guide to Murder, won The People’s Book Prize and was In Search of the Classic Mystery Novel’s book of the year.
