Death in the Aviary Publisher's Summary

A ‘locked lift’ mystery for Golden Age crime fans, from award winning author Victoria Dowd.

The locked lift mystery of Ravenswick Abbey has remained unsolved for a year. On New Year’s Eve 1928, nine people entered the murderous lift at Ravenswick Abbey. Only eight came out alive....

December 1929, and back-room journalist Charlotte Blood is sent to the isolated Ravenswick Abbey in the wilds of Dartmoor to investigate the murder of the heir to the Ravenswick fortune. She faces a locked room mystery like no other, a crime impossible to solve. Almost a year ago, on New Year’s Eve, nine members of the Ravenswick household stepped into a vast, ornate lift installed for the ailing head of the family, Lord Ravenswick. Only eight people stepped out.

It is an impossible locked lift mystery that a year on, no one has solved. Charlotte Blood must unravel the mystery, and with it the terrible truth behind the family. Her search will not only lead her down a dangerous path, it will reveal some of the dark secrets that lurk in her own life.
