Books like Behind the shattered glass by Tasha Alexander
Anglemore Park, the ancestral home of Lady Emily Hargreaves’ husband Colin, appears idyllic until the Marquess of Montagu bursts through its French doors, dead in front of the shocked gathering. The murder stirs a web of motives—an engaged cousin threatened by the young aristocrat, an Oxford friend falsely accused of cheating, a seduced vicar’s daughter, and an unknown relative claiming the Montagu title. A mysterious woman seen with the victim adds another layer of intrigue. As the investigation delves into both the manor’s opulent rooms and the servants’ hidden lives, Emily discovers family secrets and forbidden passions that hold the key to solving the crime.
