A Gothic abbey, an eccentric family and a body in the great hall? Sounds like a case for Polly Hope!
Yorkshire, December 1941. Polly Hope and her friend Freddie Fairbank are looking forward to visiting Westerby Abbey--a vast, stone-dark manor on the Yorkshire moors--to see if it will be suitable to use in the war effort. With snow expected, the house is cold enough to freeze the bones but there will be plenty of space for soldiers. That is, if they can convince the family to give up their home...
The four Huntingdon siblings invite Polly and Freddie to join their winter party in the great hall: a tribute to their late father involving medieval costumes, a feast and a theatrical tableau. Polly is charmed. Freddie ends up in tights. But as heavy snow begins to fall across the moors, one of the guests turns up dead, still in his ancient costume.
With the abbey snowed in, the police unreachable and the killer still somewhere in the house, Polly and Freddie have no choice but to investigate themselves--before the killer can strike again. At least Keeper, the Irish Wolfhound, seems keen to help, especially when he sniffs out a second body... Can Polly and Freddie crack the case--before the killer leaves them out in the cold?
The perfect book to curl up with by the fire! A cozy treat for fans of T E Kinsey, Verity Bright and Richard Coles.
