Rogue in Porcelain
by Anthea Fraser

Meet Rona Parish, a talented biographer who has a skill for writing about the past and encountering danger along the way, and her adorable golden retriever, Gus.

Betrayal, deception, passion . . . Rona Parish digs up the truth about one of Marsborough’s oldest family firms when she makes a terrible discovery in a cemetery.

Famous porcelain firm Curzon is about to celebrate its 150th anniversary, making it a perfect fit for Rona’s series of articles researching the history of Marsborough’s oldest family firms.

Every family has its secrets . . .

As Rona delves into the history of the celebrated Curzons through family letters and diaries, she learns more about the founder’s son, the scandalous George Curzon, a rake with the nickname ‘Rogue in Porcelain’, his escapades, and a staggering secret he was hiding.

Some are too explosive to stay buried.

When Rona pays a visit to the family burial ground, she is shocked to discover a body, and even more so when she unearths surprising links between the dead person and the Curzons. Could the tragedy in the cemetery have its tangled roots in the past?

A page-turning cosy mystery set in the fictional English market town of Marsborough in the stunning Chiltern Hills.

Fans of M.C. Beaton, Richard Osman, Reverend Richard Coles, G.M. Malliet, Margery Allingham, Betty Rowlands and Faith Martin will love this series.
