UNCOVER THE VERY BEST IN CRIME AND THRILLER WRITING
‘Mrs MacBain, thank god it’s you.’ Without another word, he grabbed her arm and pulled her into the room, locking the door behind them. Mrs MacBain turned around, clearly offended at being manhandled, but then gasped, ‘Is that blood?’

Who would have had motive to want them dead? And how did they manage to commit their crime and escape while keeping the door locked from the inside?
With an Abbey full of suspects and secrets, it is down to Mrs MacBain to catch the killer before they strike again…
A brilliantly twisty and deliciously witty Golden Age murder mystery to transport you to 1930s Scotland. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Janice Hallett and Richard Osman.
