title: Murder at Ashgrove House (Rose Simpson Mysteries)
author:  Margaret Addison 
description: I am a lifelong fan of Agatha Christie and was inspired to write my own murder mystery, "Murder at Ashgrove House", after directing Agatha Christie's "The Hollow" play for Exeter Theater Company in England. I have always loved murder mysteries set in country houses during the Golden Age of Crime era where the murders were not too graphic and the main aim was to try and work out the murderer by identifying a handful of carefully hidden clues and of course dodging the red herrings. Therefore my intention in the Rose Simpson Mysteries is to give sufficient clues whereby an eagle-eyed reader may be able to work out who the murderer is, but for it not to be too easy. I would also like my books to be an enjoyable read for those readers, like my husband, who just like reading murder mysteries. "Murder at Ashgrove House" is the first book in what I am intending to be a long series of Rose Simpson Mysteries spanning the 1930s and World War II. I am currently busy writing the second book in the series, "Murder at Dareswick Hall", which I hope to publish in May 2014.
