The Incident At Fives Castle (An Angela Marchmont Mystery #5) - Plot & Excerpts
They all looked very tired: the Ambassador and the Foreign Secretary had been roused from their beds after only a few short hours’ sleep, while Jameson and Lord Strathmerrick had not been to bed at all.

We were waiting for him. How come somebody got to him first?’ said Aubrey.‘We don’t know,’ said Henry Jameson. ‘We’ve spoken to the servants, and nobody saw him arrive. It’s pretty clear he had only recently got here, though, given that he was still wearing his overcoat and boots when he died.’‘He must have arrived during the dance,’ said Sandy Buchanan.
