Sinopse

It could be lights out for British sleuth Patrick Dawlish when a dangerous new drug hits London and falls into the hands of a criminal mastermind.   After a Paris vacation with his wife, Patrick Dawlish steps off the train and is welcomed home by trouble, to no one’s surprise. An esteemed medical researcher who wanted Dawlish’s help while being blackmailed has gone missing. For months the poor doctor’s mind has been wracked with fear, derailing his work on a cure for a devastating virus and plunging him into financial ruin.   The search for the doctor puts a target on Dawlish’s back—and everyone close to him—just as a series of bizarre murders begin. Some small-time crooks are drugged into a blissful sleep never to awaken again. And that’s enough to convince Dawlish that there’s a big-time thief behind the scenes, one who’s gotten his hands on the ultimate weapon to satisfy his lust for wealth and power . . .

    Amid the aftermath of the Great War and its hardships, it's no wonder that many wish to rediscover life's pleasures—parties, fashion, dancing. Still, Lady Phoebe and Eva are disconcerted when a small gathering at the home of Phoebe's sister, Julia, becomes a far larger and more glamorous affair . . . 
     
     
      
    Julia has invited her favorite French fashion designer, Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, and Coco's current beau, the Earl of Chesterhaven. Coco has brought an entourage of her own, including two models, and intends to use the gardens as a photographic setting for her latest creations. 
     
     
      
    Madame Chanel is as outspoken as she is talented, offering a scathing critique of Phoebe's fashion sense. There is tense competition between the models as well. When one of the guests is found dead of smoke inhalation, it appears to be a tragic accident. But was a footman really to blame for mistakenly closing the fireplace flue, or is there a more sinister explanation? 
     
     
       
    Phoebe is determined to find out, despite the protestations of her sweetheart, Owen Seabright.  Both above and below stairs, Phoebe and Eva uncover myriad motives—career ambition, romantic rivalries, and even deeper betrayals.

    “That Woman in the Croft” is a mystery-thriller set in the atmospheric Highlands of Scotland. It centers around the decaying MacCallum Lodge, a once-prestigious hunting lodge struggling financially. Tensions run high among the staff and guests, particularly between the lodge owner, Hugh MacCallum, his younger wife, Isla, and the rugged gamekeeper, Robbie McTaggart. As whispers of infidelity and unspoken desires simmer beneath the surface, the arrival of the mysterious and alluring Siofra Ravensway turns the lodge's dynamics on its head. 
    Siofra, with her striking beauty and mysterious presence, captivates the men of the lodge, including Robbie, much to the dismay of Isla and the quiet jealousy of Morag, the housekeeper. Meanwhile, local gossip, led by the superstitious Agnes Maclean, fuels suspicions about Siofra, linking her to old Highland legends of the Baobhan Sith, a vampiric figure known to lure men to their doom. 
    One fateful evening, after a tense night at the lodge bar filled with flirtations, jealousy, and unresolved emotions, Robbie disappears into the mist with Siofra not far behind. The following day, his body is found at the edge of the forest, sparking a murder investigation that uncovers the dark secrets lurking within the lodge's walls and the village's superstitions. As the mystery unfolds, the truth becomes entangled with myth, and the line between reality and legend blurs.
