PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

A Killer Housewarming in the Scottish Highlands

When barrister Rex Graves invites a group of friends to Gleneagle Lodge, he doesn’t anticipate the arrival of an old flame—much less a dead body or serial killer. Rex’s houseguest and colleague Alistair, who recently made an unsuccessful attempt to convict a man for the notorious Moor Murders, now finds himself under the same roof as the killer. Rex must use his skills of intellect, observation and logic to save Alistair’s career and bring the murderer to justice.

"Traditional mystery fans will appreciate the retro Agatha Christie style."
—Publishers Weekly

"VERDICT This fourth series entry (after Phi Beta Murder) is a classic British mystery with a closed cast of suspects and a locked-room puzzle."
—Library Journal

"In the style of Agatha Christie, lightweight but fun to read."
—Kirkus Reviews

"This is a nice series, with a bonnie flavor of Scotland."
—Deadly Pleasures

"Lovely to visit Scotland again in this series."
—Crimespree Magazine

"If you’ve missed good, old-fashioned whodunits where the identity of the murderer is revealed in a stately drawing room, this latest Rex Graves mystery is for you. Contemporary in setting but classic in style and voice, it’ll have you guessing to the very end."
—Romantic Times

"Challinor's feel for setting is very good, as is her plotting. As spring approaches, it's a pleasure to read about someplace with worse weather than here. The good writing is a delight as well."
—Reviewing The Evidence
