The Murder At Sissingham Hall (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
A gentle, easy-to-read murder mystery. Pretty predictable, but still enjoyable. The narrator was a fascinating character, and I would have loved to learn more about him but apparently this is an 'Angela Marchmont' mystery - which was rather confusing as Angela comes across as little more than a secondary character in this story. I preferred Charles Knox - far more interesting.;) But, a fun read, nicely written and with enough suspense to keep me interested. On his return from South Africa, Charles Knox is invited to spend the weekend at the country home of Sir Neville Strickland, whose beautiful wife Rosamund was once Knox's fiancee. But in the dead of night Sir Neville is murdered. Who did it? As suspicion falls on each of the house guests in turn, Knox finds himself faced with deception and betrayal on all sides, and only the enigmatic Angela Marchmont seems to offer a solution to the mystery. This 1920s whodunit in the vein of Agatha Christie will delight all fans of traditional country house murder stories.The murderer is Rosamund, who killed her husband because he would't give her a divorce. Charles goes back to So Africa.
