WHO KILLED THE EARL OF MORAN?, Volume 13 in The Casebook of Barnaby Adair, will be released on March 19, 2026.
After being dismissed—for no apparent reason—from her position as companion to the Dowager Countess of Moran, Mary Alder believes she is fulfilling her last duty to the earl before leaving his employ the following morning, only to discover, on entering his study, that the earl has been struck down and is very dead. Then she’s discovered standing, horror-struck, over the body, and is accused of committing the crime.
On learning of his mother’s predicament, Julian seeks help from his employer, Curtis, who immediately enlists the assistance of the Adairs and Stokes on Mary and Julian’s behalf. As the investigators have already been directed to solve the politically and socially sensitive case without delay, they are swiftly on the scene—only to find that all their prime suspects were in the drawing room at the time of the murder, under each other’s eyes.
Indeed, despite a plethora of potential suspects, there’s a dearth of evidence that places any of them anywhere near the earl’s study at the fateful time.
In solving this case, the investigators are forced to look past the obvious and confront their own prejudices before—fact by fact and motive by motive—they finally answer the question of who killed the Earl of Moran.
WHO KILLED THE EARL OF MORAN? is available for pre-order in all formats - audio, print and digital. If you can’t see a link on my website to your favourite retailer, keep an eye out as it will be there shortly, it’s just working its way through the systems!
