At Marrowbourne, beautiful things hide dangerous truths. For twenty-two years, Nora Ashworth has been the perfect wife — graceful, composed, quietly loyal to a husband whose charm concealed something colder beneath the surface. Behind the polished silver, candlelit dinners, and sprawling gardens, their marriage has been quietly unravelling for years.

What you are getting
How it begins
She poured two glasses of wine the way she always did — one full, one measured — and set them down on the mahogany without a tremble in her hand.
That steadiness was what people remarked on. It had followed her through twenty-two years of dinner parties and hospital galas and the small daily theater of the house, this reputation for calm, and she had learned to wear it as she wore the grey linen: because it suited what other people needed her to be. Nora Ashworth never trembled. She had trained the trembling down into some deep interior room with no exits, where, over the years, it had become something else entirely — something cooler, more patient, and, she was only beginning to understand, more dangerous. Stillness was not the absence of feeling. It was feeling with the lid screwed down. Nobody who complimented her on her composure had ever once asked what the composure was holding.
Is this your kind of book?
The Last Supper at Marrowbourne is the country-house mystery — poisoned dinners and tidy stories that fall apart under one stubborn question. It is written for readers who want the patient kind of crime and suspense: plotted, unhurried, and more interested in what people conceal than in how loudly it ends.
This is where the series starts. Begin here and everything after it is in order.

Why buy it here
Buying from this page gets you both formats in one purchase — the EPUB for your e-reader or phone, and the PDF for everything else. There is no DRM on either file, so the book is genuinely yours: move it between devices, keep a backup, read it in ten years on something that has not been invented yet.
The download link arrives the moment the payment clears, and it is tied to the email you paid with — so if you lose the file, the link can be re-issued to that same address. And buying direct means the money goes to the person who wrote the book rather than a retailer’s cut.
