A Deadly Scandal
(2025)(The ninth book in the Angus Brodie and Mikaela Forsythe Murder Mystery series)
A novel by Carla Simpson
Murder is such a nasty business…
Mikaela Forsythe has returned from safari in Africa with her great aunt, and Lily.
The continent survived, but not so the victim in a new murder investigation that she is asked to undertake – that agreement she made with Sir Avery of the Special Services Agency to save Brodie’s life.
A particularly sensitive case, the victim is a close friend of the Prince of Wales, and a man who apparently led a double life.
Questions only mount as the trail to find the murderer leads to Brussels, then Frankfurt, and uncovers an affair with an exotic actress, a clandestine scheme, smugglers, and the disappearance of a priceless diamond.
Who really was Antony Collingwood? What was the scheme that got him killed? Did it involve the Prince of Wales?
Murder and scandal threaten to undermine the succession to the throne. And there is a further complication.
Sir Avery insists that Angus Brodie assist Mikaela in this very delicate investigation that could have far-reaching consequences.
Their first meeting since the sudden ‘change’ in their relationship and her return from Africa, is less than cordial. There are difficult feelings to work through.
In addition, it seems that Brodie has not changed at all, in spite of his new role with young Rory, that requires infinite patience and understanding -- two characteristics that Brodie arguably is not known for. At least as far as Mikaela is concerned.
After a heated conversation, she tells him exactly what he can do with his expertise and the instructions from Sir Avery to work together, and she is determined to continue the investigation on her own.
Angus Brodie is forced to confront an immovable force – Mikaela, in order to follow the orders he’s been given from Sir Avery, and to confront the fact that he might just have been wrong in that previous argument that sent her off to Africa and out of his life.
As the investigation exposes both to secrets, danger, and choices, what will Brodie and Mikaela discover is most important as smugglers and assassins are determined to stop them at all cost?
Genre: Historical Mystery
