Bright Young Dead
"True and glorious indulgence. A dazzling example of a golden age mystery." —Daisy Goodwin, author of Victoria and The American Heiress on The Mitford Murders Set amid the legendary Mitford household, Bright Young Dead is the second in the thrilling, Golden Age-style Mitford Murders series by Jessica Fellowes, author of the New York Times bestselling Downton Abbey books. Meet the Bright Young Things, the rabble-rousing hedonists of the 1920s whose treasure hunts were a media obsession. One such game takes place at the 18th birthday party of Pamela Mitford, but ends in tragedy as cruel, charismatic Adrian Curtis is pushed to his death from the church neighbouring the Mitford home. The police quickly identify the killer as a maid, Dulcie. But Louisa Cannon, chaperone to the Mitford girls and a former criminal herself, believes Dulcie to be innocent, and sets out to clear the girl''s name . . . all while the real killer may only be steps away.

Los crímenes de Mitford (Los crímenes de Mitford 1)
Por la autora best seller internacional y creadora de cinco libros oficiales de Downton Abbey Jessica Fellowes, llega una nueva serie de novelas de misterio con crímenes sin resolver. Seis hermanas. Toda una vida de misterio. Una familia incomparable. Estamos en 1919, y Louisa Cannon sueña con escapar de su vida de pobreza en Londres y, sobre todo, de su peligroso y opresivo tío. La única salvación para Louisa es una posición dentro de la casa de los Mitford en Asthall Manor, en el campo de Oxfordshire. Allí se convertirá en institutriz, acompañante y confidente de las hermanas Mitford, especialmente de Nancy, de dieciséis años, una chica joven y mordaz, fantasiosa e imaginativa. Sin embargo, una enfermera de nombre Florence Nightingale Shore, será asesinada en un tren a plena luz del día, y Louisa y Nancy se encontrarán envueltas en los crímenes de un asesino que hará cualquier cosa para ocultar su secreto. La crítica ha dicho... «Elegante y retorcida. Un misterio en la línea de Downton Abbey que atrapa desde la primera página.» Viv Groskop «Una novela de asesinatos y detectives llena de masters y servants y alicientes histórico literarios.» Luis Alemany, El Mundo «Una vívida, entretenida y brillantemente escrita novela de misterio.» The Times «Fellowes empieza a reunir de nuevo las apasionantes biografías de las hermanas de Oxfordshire. Lo hace mediante una serie negra que, con mezcla de hechos reales y ficticios, utiliza como hilo conductor a una criada convertida en detective.» La Vanguardia «La fascinación por el caso de las hermanas Mitford nunca morirá.» Vanity Fair «Una novela de misterio con aires de Agatha Christie, que nos entretendrá durante horas y nos dejará con ganas de leer las siguientes novelas.» Patricia Llamas, Fantasymundo «Un ejemplo deslumbrante de la edad dorada del misterio.» Daisy Goodwin «Si todavía no te suena el apellido de Fellowes, lo va a hacer a partir de ahora gracias a lo que se prevé ya como uno de los grandes éxitos literarios de los próximos años: una nueva serie de novelas encuadradas en el "true crime".» Fantastic Plastic Mag «Todo el maravilloso escapismo de un drama de época reunido en un maravilloso libro.» The Pool «¡Qué delicia! Un inicio excelente para lo que promete ser una serie imprescindible y necesaria para todos en estos tiempos sombríos. Imaginativa, brillante, inteligente, ingeniosa.» Susan Hill «No es poco lo que esta intriga policial consigue captar del esplendor de clase alta y la penuria de las clasesbajas: ese pintor londinense y sin escrúpulos, esas puestas de largo en temporada alta, los carnet de baile y las damas carabina. Tal vez no sea todo ni aparezcan todos los detalles. Pero es que la historia real de los Mitford supera toda ficción.» Lilian Neuman, Cultura|s, La Vanguardia «Un homenaje a las mejores creaciones del género, destacando una exquisita ambientación, unos personajes entrañables y una trama envolvente que te impulsan a devorar de un tirón sus casi cuatrocientas páginas.» El Correo de Andalucía «Me tiene absolutamente cautivada tanto por la puesta en escena de sus personajes como por su ambientación.» Loreto Navarro, Negro sobre blanco

Fans af Daisy Goodwin, Julian Fellowes og Agatha Christie vil elske denne serie om Mitfordmordene, der er bygget på virkelige forbrydelser og skildrer den virkelige Mitford-familie og dens seks excentriske søstre.

Louisas redning bliver en ansættelse hos familien Mitford på Asthall Manor i Oxfordshire. Som kombineret barnepige og selskabsdame for de seks Mitfordsøstre får hun adgang til en helt ny og fortryllende verden. Især knytter hun sig til den eventyrlystne og smukke sekstenårige Nancy, den ældste af søstrene, der elsker detektivhistorier og brænder for at opleve verden uden for godset. Men da sygeplejersken Florence Nightingale Shore, der er guddatter til sin berømte navnesøster, myrdes på toget til Hastings, husker Louisa, at hun har set noget i det tog, der måske kunne være af betydning. Sagen vækker opsigt, og snart vikles både Louisa og Nancy ind i en mordgåde, der er lige så spændende, som den er livsfarlig.

L'assassinio di Florence Nightingale Shore

release date: Oct 24, 2017
L'assassinio di Florence Nightingale Shore
Il 12 gennaio 1920 linfermiera Florence Nightingale Shore arriva a Victoria Station nel primo pomeriggio, in taxi, un lusso che ritiene di meritare a un passo dalla pensione e dopo una vita di sacrifici. Il mezzo di trasporto si intona, infatti, alla sua pelliccia nuova, regalo che si è concessa per il compleanno e che ha indossato per la prima volta solo il giorno precedente. Dopo aver acquistato un biglietto di terza classe per Warrior Square, Florence Nightingale Shore si accomoda nellultimo vagone, dove attende che il treno si metta in movimento. Poco prima della partenza nel suo scompartimento entra un uomo con un completo di tweed marrone chiaro e un cappello. È lultima volta che qualcuno la vedrà viva. Il giorno stesso, sulla medesima tratta, la diciottenne Louisa Cannon salta giù da un treno in corsa per sfuggire allopprimente e pericoloso zio, che vorrebbe sanare i propri debiti «offrendo» la nipote a uomini di dubbia reputazione. A soccorrerla è un agente della polizia ferroviaria, Guy Sullivan, un ragazzo alto e allampanato, gli incisivi distanti e gli occhiali spessi e tondi che gli scivolavano sempre sul naso. Affascinato dalla determinazione della giovane, Guy si offre di aiutarla a raggiungere Asthall Manor, nella campagna dellOxfordshire, dove la ragazza deve sostenere un colloquio di lavoro come cameriera addetta alla nursery presso la prestigiosa famiglia Mitford. Louisa riesce a farsi assumere, divenendo istitutrice, chaperon e confidente delle sei sorelle Mitford, specialmente della sedicenne Nancy, una giovane donna intelligente e curiosa con un talento particolare per le storie, talento che le permetterà poi di essere una delle più sofisticate e brillanti scrittrici britanniche del Novecento. Sarà proprio la curiosità di Nancy a spingerla a indagare, con laiuto di Guy, sul caso che sta facendo discutere tutta Londra: quello dellinfermiera assalita brutalmente sulla linea ferroviaria di Brighton. Basato sul vero omicidio, rimasto irrisolto, di Florence Nightingale Shore, questo è il primo romanzo di una serie di avvincenti gialli ambientati nellInghilterra degli anni Venti e Trenta, con protagoniste le sei «leggendarie» sorelle Mitford. Sei celeberrime sorelle - figlie del barone Redesdale, David Freeman-Mitford, - il glamour, il gossip che le circonda in unavvincente serie di gialli. «Il fascino duraturo delle sorelle Mitford non muore mai». Vanity Fair «Un assassinio vero, una famiglia vera, e una serie di crime nuova di zecca, per una lettura affascinante e molto divertente». Julian Fellowes

A Year in the Life of Downton Abbey (companion to series 5)
It''s 1924 and there have been many changes in the world of Downton Abbey since we were first welcomed by the family and their servants twelve years ago. A generation of men has been tragically lost at the front, there are once again children breathing new life into the great house, a chauffeur now sits at the Grantham dinner table and hems are up by several inches. Yet despite all of this unsettling upheaval, it is a comfort to find that many things at Downton remain largely unchanged. There are still parties to be thrown, summer fetes to be organised, menus to be planned and farms to be run. Join us, then, as we explore the seasonal events and celebrations of the great estate - Christmas, Easter, the debutante season, the hunt and more - and peer with us through the prism of the house as we learn more about the lives of our favourite characters, the actors who play them, and those who create the world we love so much. Packed full of exclusive new photography and brimming with traditional British recipes for each calendar month, such as Eton mess and sloe gin, this beautiful book takes us on a fascinating journey through a year in the life of Downton Abbey.
