Murder at Merisham Lodge by Celina Grace
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Miss Hart and Miss Hunter are servants in the mansion of a rich owner. They are friends and they share a room in the servant's quarters. While one is kept busy in the kitchen the other is kept busy by the daughter of the Lady of the house.
As it happens, the lady of the house is bludgeoned to death and the suspicion falls on the son of the lady. Every circumstantial evidence stand against him and he his taken away by the police for questioning.
Miss Hart and Miss Hunter keep their eyes and ears open and they study the occupants of the house. They are not convinced about the charge put on the son. They also chance up evidences as they move around the house. They dare to speak to the police about the telltale evidences that they come across.
Soon enough the son himself is killed in the basement of the house. This time everyone is baffled, but not so Miss Hart and Miss Hunter.

They take on to themselves to theorize and they use their opportunity to verify their theory when they get a chance to go to London for some other reason. They verify and validate their evidence and provide them to the police so that the right legal action can be taken.

A decent read.
