A COUNTRY HOUSE MYSTERY PERFECT FOR FANS OF AGATHA CHRISTIE

Every family has secrets, but now they are turning deadly...

Fortunately, amateur sleuth Amberley is as brilliant as he is arrogant as he ferrets out the desperate killer--even though this time he's not sure he wants to know the truth...
