Anotace knihy

A heavy mist coils over the lawns of an English country estate as guests gather for a weekend retreat, their laughter echoing through grand halls already thick with secrets. Beneath the veneer of upper-class civility, tension simmers-old grievances, sharp wit, and an unexpected guest with a tail. In this golden age mystery, a murder shatters the fragile calm of the house, thrusting both hosts and visitors into a spiralling web of suspicion, intrigue, and social satire. The setting is unmistakably the English countryside, yet every room crackles with the energy of a satirical crime novel, skewering the pretensions and eccentricities of the privileged few.

With biting humour and a keen eye for the absurdities of status and ambition, this country house mystery unfolds as both a whodunit and a wry commentary on British society in the 1930s. The story's amateur sleuth, drawn from the ranks of the guests, must untangle a murder mystery book that teases and misleads, exposing not only the culprit but the tangled relationships and hidden motives that bind the group together. The narrative's blend of social satire and detective fiction makes it a distinctive addition to the tradition of British mystery novels, offering readers both the pleasure of a puzzle and the sharpness of a critique.

This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. It has been restored for today's and future generations. This edition is not just a reprint - it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure. For enthusiasts of golden age mysteries, satirical fiction, and the enduring allure of the amateur sleuth story, this is a work that rewards both close reading and appreciative collecting.
