Murder at the Country House
Jane Adams
Works of: Fiction
Meet Rina Martin, a retired actress with a taste for tea, gardening and crime solving.
She played a TV sleuth for years, but now she has to do it for real.
Rina accepts an invite to Aikensthorpe, a country-house hotel with a sinister past.
Her fellow guests are an eccentric bunch of magicians and scholars who want to re-enact a séance. Back in 1872, it left one man dead and another mad.
Rina won’t be drawn into all of that and is relieved when Detective MacGregor comes to her rescue.
But then a blizzard sets in . . . leaving Rina and Mac trapped in the house. Cut off from civilisation.
And the first of the bodies is found — a distinguished scholar, smothered in his sleep.
Who will be next to die on this dark and stormy night?
