Two crimes, one ticking clock.
Suffolk, 1903. William Gardiner stands trial for the brutal stabbing of Rose Harsent, and concerned parties turn to Lawrence Harpham for help in a last-ditch attempt to uncover the truth.
As Lawrence delves into the investigation, he finds himself stalked by a mysterious figure, confounding his efforts to bring the murderer to justice.
Meanwhile, Violet takes on a puzzling poisoning case from the past, determined to unravel the secrets surrounding a bad-tempered housemaid. Was she a cold-hearted killer or merely a convenient suspect?
With time running out and the added distraction of a mysterious stranger at Netherwood, Lawrence and Violet must navigate a treacherous web of deceit and misdirection to solve both cases before it's too late.
Perfect for fans of Elly Griffiths, Irina Shapiro, and Emily Organ, The Maleficent Maid is a gripping historical mystery with elements of witchcraft that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the shocking conclusion.
