Jessica Fellowes Synopses: The Best Friend by Jessica Fellowes is a standalone novel. From childhood, Bella and Kate were the closest of best friends. Bella was the sensible and cautious one, while Kate was gregarious and just a little dangerous.

Yet in spite of their intimacy, their trust is fragile. Men came into their lives and things changed – a black seed was planted in the heart of their relationship. Over time, acts of both cruelty and love ferment until one shocking event tests them more than ever. Neither will escape unscathed.

Louisa’s salvation is a position within the Mitford household at Asthall Manor, in the Oxfordshire countryside. There she will become nursemaid, chaperone and confidante to the Mitford sisters, especially sixteen-year-old Nancy, an acerbic, bright young woman in love with stories.

But then a nurse – Florence Nightingale Shore, goddaughter of her famous namesake – is murdered on a train in broad daylight, and Louisa and Nancy find themselves in the sights of a murderer who will do anything to hide their secret…

The police quickly identify the killer as a maid, Dulcie. But Louisa Cannon, chaperone to the Mitford girls and a former criminal herself, believes Dulcie to be innocent, and sets out to clear the maid’s name.. during which time the real killer may be mere steps away.

It is 1928, and following the death of a maid at a glamorous society party, fortune heir Bryan Guinness seizes life and proposes to eighteen-year-old Diana, considered to be most beautiful of the six Mitford sisters. The maid’s death is ruled an accident, and the newlyweds put it behind them to begin a whirlwind life zipping between London’s Mayfair, chic Paris and hedonistic Berlin. Accompanying Diana as her lady’s maid is Louisa Cannon, as well as a coterie of friends, family and hangers on, from Nancy Mitford to Evelyn Waugh. When a second victim is found in Paris in 1931, Louisa begins to see a connection to the death of the maid. Now she must convince the Mitford sisters that a murderer could be within their midst.
