Description
From deep in the heart of his eighteenth century English manor, millionaire Sir Adrian Beauclerk-Fisk writes mystery novels and torments his four spoiled children with threats of disinheritance. Gathering them all together for a family dinner, he announces his latest blow - a secret elopement. Within hours, eldest son and appointed heir Ruthven is found cleaved to death by a medieval mace. And soon Sir Adrian himself is found slumped over his writing desk - an ornate knife thrust into his heart. Trapped amid leering gargoyles and stone walls, every member of the family is a likely suspect. Using a little Cornish brusqueness and brawn, can St. Just find the killer before the next-in-line to the family fortune ends up dead?

Like the Golden Age mysteries of Ngaio Marsh, Malliet's stories use an aristocratic-like police detective with a sidekick to solve typical puzzle mysteries. The fast paced stories of both authors involve a closed circle of suspects and numerous red herring clues. These cozies are filled with eccentric characters. -- Merle Jacob
Setting their traditional mysteries in charming villages that wouldn't be complete without eccentrics and strong personalities, these two authors have created amateur investigators determined to bring justice to their corners of the world. G.M. Malliet, however, adds a contemporary vibe compared to Agatha Christie. -- Shauna Griffin
C. C. Benison and G. M. Malliet write old fashioned English village mysteries featuring very likeable and sexy vicars who use their knowledge of people to solve crimes. These are empathetic, intelligent men surrounded by eccentric villagers. The stories use clever detecting and plot twists to evoke mystery's Golden Age. -- Merle Jacob
