One of Alexandra Campbell's newfound cousins has turned up dead! Alex and her colorful sidekick, Brighamina Poulsen, are Rootsearch, Inc., and they've come to England to find the legal heirs to an American meat-packing fortune accumulated by Alex's grandfather and her recently murdered father. Set in the ancient and picturesque town of Oxford, England, Of Deadly Descent is a murder mystery by G. G. Vandagriff in the classic tradition of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers. Alex hasn't been able to determine her grandfather's roots, and her cousins could end up disinheriting her. Apparently someone is jealous, deadly jealous, as potential heirs turn up dead.
