'A tantalising whodunnit with some of the funniest dialogue I've read in a while' JENNIE GODFREY 'Fans of P G Wodehouse will enjoy this!' ALEXANDER ARMSTRONG 'A joy from start to finish. This is crime writing at its best' JANICE HALLETT Cornwall, 1910. On a remote tidal island, the Viscount of Tithe Hall is absorbed in feverish preparations for what he believes will be the apocalypse. The Hall must be sealed from top to bottom, but what the foolish Viscount has failed to take into account is the danger that lies within... By morning, he will be dead in his sealed study, murdered by his own ancestral crossbow. All eyes turn to Stephen Pike, the newest member of staff. Fresh out of Borstal for a crime he didn't commit, he is the wrong man in the wrong place at the wrong time. His unlikely ally? Miss Decima Stockingham, the fearless, foul-mouthed, eighty-year-old matriarch who relishes chaos and puzzles alike. A murder is just the thrill she's been waiting for. Together, this mismatched duo must navigate secret passages, buried grudges and rising terror to unmask the killer before it's too late...
