Dismount and Murder - set in the green hills of Litchfield, Connecticut

This is to show off a brand-new cover for DISMOUNT AND MURDER, the third book in my Double V Mysteries series.  Here's the blurb:

"A wealthy estate owner is found dead of a heart attack after his morning horseback ride. But his son suspects murder. Is the killer his young stepmother? His jealous wife? The surly stable groom? The trusted lawyer? Or did the butler do it?

Juliet Van Allen and Elmer Vartanian, partners in the business of ferreting out murderers, are called to the green hills of Litchfield, Connecticut, in the summer of 1950. It is the eve of the annual horse show, and with the mansion full of glittering guests at the opening ball, the estate is full of suspects.

Dismount and Murder is the third book in the Double V Mysteries series set in post-World War II New England.

If you like the romance and charm of a classic film, this “cozy noir” will remind you of an era when character-driven stories were elegant, subtle—and where greed rears its ugly head over a silver tray of hors d'oeuvres in a ballroom of intrigue or under a caterer’s tent on the lawn, while sipping a champagne cocktail.

It’s murder among the horsey set as the pace quickens, and there’s danger in the paddock for sleuths who don’t listen to warnings."
