Death at Silent Pool: A 1920s Mystery

"A woman disappears in suspicious circumstances, the obvious suspect is murdered, and a family tears itself apart. When master sleuth Lord Edgington is called to investigate the disappearance of a politician’s wife at a beauty spot in the countryside, things go badly from the outset. A bloody and abandoned car hints at a dark fate for the missing woman, and when her husband forbids the detectives from entering his property, there is only one conclusion to draw. The case is soon turned on its head when the prime suspect is murdered and the heirs to the grand estate at Silent Pool clash. But which of the five bickering siblings wanted their parents dead and who will the killer target next? As the police fail to get the situation under control, and two warring camps emerge, Lord Edgington and his increasingly capable assistant must dig into the past of a unique and uniquely horrible family if they wish to catch the culprit before there is no one left to blame. A 1920s whodunit with a warm-hearted and original detective duo, a cast of well-drawn characters and a mystery that will leave you guessing right to the end. “Death at Silent Pool” is the fourteenth novel in the witty and twisty “Lord Edgington Investigates” series but can be read as a standalone case."

When Lord Edgington hears of a failed attack on an eccentric viscount, it’s the perfect excuse to get out of seeing horrible relatives over Christmas.
