While this novel has the same amateur sleuth as the other books in the Iris Woodmore Mysteries series, it can be read as a STANDALONE
When a pantomime turns deadly, Iris investigates a cast of killers'
Christmas, 1923. When reporter Iris Woodmore is sent to cover the Prince of Wales' visit to historic Winchester, she discovers more than just royal gossip.
The leading lady in Winchester Cathedral's charity pantomime is found dead in mysterious circumstances. And the chief suspect is Cinderella's handsome prince, played by Percy Baverstock's younger brother, Freddie.
For the sake of the Baverstocks, Iris must investigate the murder, even though it means confronting an old enemy. And as the line between friend and foe blurs dangerously, she's ensnared by someone she hoped she'd never see again'
Everyone's favourite amateur sleuth returns for a Christmas mystery, perfect for fans of Verity Bright, Claire Gradidge and Emily Organ

Praise for the Iris Woodmore Mysteries:A fabulous, well-written, mystery that holds all the promise of much more to come... The Iris Woodmore mysteries are fast becoming some of my favourites. *M J Porter
A joy to read! Such a well-researched mystery. I absolutely loved the unconventional heroine, 1920s setting, engaging characterisation and poignant ending, all of which provide a captivating start to the Iris Woodmore cosy mystery series. Anita Davison
The mystery itself is intriguing, with plenty of twists and unexpected developments. If you enjoy 1920s mysteries and learning about the Suffragettes and all they stood for, then I highly recommend Death at Crookham Hall. Verity Bright
Death at Crookham Hall is a lovely, murder mystery by a gifted writer. Helena Dixon
