A Sinister Establishment by Lynn Messina

Newly a duchess, the former spinster Beatrice Hyde-Clare is thoroughly intimidated by her new husband's staff. They, however, are thoroughly NOT impressed by her. At least the butler sure says so to a footman when he doesn't know Beatrice is within hearing distance. Well, Beatrice is now determined to show them that she is more than a mousy former wallflower. Luckily, an opportunity presents itself when the chef next door is murdered. And his head is removed.

We get to see Beatrice in her element, solving mysteries, but this time, with her husband by her side the whole time. These books are short and the mysteries aren't particularly engaging but it is fun and fluffy and we get to see Beatrice grow into her role as a duchess.
