A locked-room murder. A manor full of secrets. A detective who sees what others miss. When celebrated detective tienne Duvall is summoned to the imposing and isolated Ravenwood Manor, he anticipates little more than another tiresome family squabble. Instead, he finds a chilling crime-a man stabbed to death inside his locked study, with no signs of forced entry and no trace of the killer. As Duvall begins to peel back the layers of the Ashford family's refined facade, he uncovers a tangle of jealousy, betrayal, and long-buried secrets lurking behind every door. Each member of the household harbors motives they'd rather keep hidden, and the more Duvall investigates, the clearer it becomes: someone inside the manor will kill to keep the truth buried. But when a second murder shakes the household, time is running out. Duvall and his loyal companion, Frank Penwell, must navigate the shifting alliances and deadly lies to expose a cunning killer before they strike again. Perfect for fans of classic British mysteries, atmospheric whodunits, and richly layered characters, Murder at Ravenwood Manor is a gripping, suspenseful debut that will keep readers guessing until the very last page.
