Description

In the idyllic setting of Audley Castle, mystery always seems to be around the corner...

I'm so excited! A team of restorers is working in the (allegedly) haunted turret of Audley Castle, restoring a beautiful ceiling painting. Unable to resist a look, I soon make friends with the restorers over our shared love of history. Well, most of them.

Bluebell Brewster is whip-smart, sharp-tongued, and takes no prisoners. And she wants nothing to do with me or my delicious food. Then she's found dead, and the evidence reveals this was no accident.

I'm on the case, alongside the head of castle security, Campbell. All evidence points to the mild-mannered project supervisor, Herbert, but there's something wrong with this picture. Murder is always messy, and Herbert doesn't fit the mold of a ruthless killer. He's more a soft, wobbly, Jell-O type of guy.

I must hunt for clues and quiz suspects while dealing with an ankle injury, and Princess Alice snubbing me. How will I solve this crime when I don't have my trusty ally by my side?
