The Night She Died

The night before Helena Wren dies, she is determined to expose a secret buried deep inside Blackthorn Hall.
By morning, she is dead.
When Detective Inspector Evelyn Harwood is called to investigate, what first appears to be a tragic fall quickly turns into something far darker. Helena had spent her final hours chasing old records, false alibis, and a truth someone powerful would kill to keep hidden. As Evelyn follows Helena’s last movements, she uncovers a vanished girl, a carefully protected family lie, and a long-buried inheritance scandal that reaches far beyond one murder.
In this gripping British murder mystery, every suspect is hiding something. The husband speaks in polished half-truths. The old family closes ranks. The town protects appearances. And the closer Evelyn gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes that Helena was not killed only for what she knew, but for what she was about to reveal.
Filled with buried secrets, dangerous respectability, women-led investigation, and the kind of suspense that tightens with every chapter, **THE NIGHT BEFORE SHE** * **DIED*** is a compelling women sleuth mystery for readers who love police procedural fiction, traditional British mystery, false alibis, family deception, and dark secrets that refuse to stay buried.
