The Mystery of the Missing Man

Book 16 in the Heathcliff Lennox series

Murder, mystery and a dog of distinction. Heathcliff Lennox investigates.

July 4th, 1924. Seven archaeologists board the morning train from Oxford to witness the Roman villa excavation at Ashton Steeple. Only six arrive.

Dr Mortimer Quayle was seen settling into his compartment with his leather case. The conductor punched his ticket. Witnesses claimed to have seen him. But somewhere during the thirty-mile journey through the peaceful Cotswold countryside, Dr. Quayle vanished without a trace.

How does a man disappear from a moving train?

What begins as a strange puzzle becomes something far deadlier. Someone among the respectable scholars committed murder–but who would kill such a distinguished man, and what secret was worth killing for?

In a world of buried artefacts and ancient mysteries, Lennox and Swift must uncover which team member has buried their past as carefully as any Roman treasure.

The Chester Grand Murders

Book 17 in the Heathcliff Lennox series

Murder, mystery and a dog of distinction
Heathcliff Lennox investigates.

When three wealthy hoteliers die within months of one another – each death neat, tidy, and labelled an accident – the seven surviving members of the Grand Proprietors’ Syndicate are no longer convinced of coincidence.

Summoned to the opulent Grand Hotel in the heart of Chester, Major Heathcliff Lennox and ex Inspector Swift find a luxury building running with understated efficiency under the formidable Miss Martin – known behind her back, and never to her face, as “Miss Martinet.” The staff whisper nervously, the corridors echo with unease, and the syndicate’s aristocratic members demand answers before one of them becomes the next casualty. The investigation leads Lennox and Swift through a maze of old grudges, romantic intrigue, and whispered scandals.

Each of the three dead men carried a secret, and someone has been quietly, ruthlessly, settling old scores. As tensions rise and another death looms, Lennox must uncover the truth hidden behind the hotel’s gleaming façade – before the murderer strikes again.

A classic Golden Age mystery set amid wealth, treachery, and shadows of the past.
Major Heathcliff Lennox – ex WW1 war pilot, 6feet 3inch, tousled dark blond hair, age around 30 – named after the hero of Wuthering Heights by his romantically minded mother – much to his great annoyance.

Conrad Penhaligon is a professional gambler. Charming, suave, and dangerously sophisticated – a man of the world who has made a career of living on the edge.
Five years ago, aboard a yacht off Nassau, Conrad lost a game and gave his word to the wrong man. Now that debt is being called in. He must arrange a private game of roulette – and he fears it’s going to end in murder.

Seven guests have been invited. Minor royalty. An American heiress. An ex ambassador. A colonial governor. An Irish earl. A matinee idol. An exiled Ottoman princess. Glittering company and every single one is compromised.

Traitors. Murderers. Thieves. Spies.
One of them is the killer. One of them is the mark.

Wolfe and Fox have four days. Four days to uncover the connection between seven guilty secrets. To identify the target. To unmask the murderer. Before the wheel stops spinning.

Karen Menuhin Portrait

Karen Baugh Menuhin

NUMBER 1 best selling author with sales of over 1 million books

1920s, Cozy crime, Traditional Detectives, Downton Abbey – I love them! Along with my family, my dog and my cat.

At 60 I decided to write, I don’t know why but suddenly the stories came pouring out, along with the characters. Eccentric Uncles, stalwart butlers, idiosyncratic servants, machinating Countesses, and the hapless Major Heathcliff Lennox. A whole world built itself upon the page and I just followed along.

Now, some years later, I have reached number 1 in USA and sold over a million books. It’s been a huge surprise, and goes to show that it’s never too late to try something new.

I grew up in the military, often on RAF bases but preferring to be in the countryside when we could. I adore whodunnits, art and history of any description.

I have two amazing sons – Jonathan and Sam Baugh, and his wife, Wendy, and five grandchildren, Charlie, Joshua, Isabella-Rose, Scarlett and Hugo.

I’m married to Krov, my wonderful husband, who is a retired film maker and eldest son of the violinist, Lord Yehudi Menuhin. We live in the Cotswolds.
