Italy, 1929. No sooner have master sleuth Lord Edgington and his grandson-apprentice begun their grand tour of Europe than a wealthy landowner turns up dead. On arriving at the palatial Castello di Montegufoni, the duo must uncover the owner's secrets and pick from a host of dubious suspects to find out who did him in.
Could one of his three rebellious heirs have pushed him from the belltower? Or is a disgruntled local to blame? Confronted with the dead man's many former lovers, a shady priest, a corrupt police officer and a serious language barrier, the detectives have their work cut out. But when the body count rises, it's a race against the clock to solve the puzzle before the killer strikes again.
Murder in an Italian Castle is the first book in the brand new Lord Edgington Investigates Abroad series of 1920s whodunits. Complete with stunning real-life locations, mouth-watering food, an adorable golden retriever, and a cast of cunning characters, this might just be the warm, witty and wonderfully twisty mystery you need.
Agatha Christie meets Downton Abbey on a grand European tour!
