Grace Against The Clock (A Manor House Mystery) - Plot & Excerpts

You need help?” I wrapped my fingers through the metal ring before he had a chance to beat me to it. “Nope. It isn’t hard to open. It’s the noise I’m worried about.” I knew he meant well, but I should be the one who opened the door for the first time.
