Mystery at Friar's Pardon

The outer archives are busy

by Philip MacDonald

About this book

Friar’s Pardon is the estate of Enid Lester-Green, the famous novelist, and is in desperate need of an estate manager. Enter Charles Fox-Browne, a man with a varied history, who is on the lookout for exactly such a post. But Friar’s Pardon is no ordinary house. It has a history of unexplained deaths, people found drowned in their rooms with no trace of water present. And history is about to repeat itself… As ghostly goings-on plague the corridors of the house, it seems that something sinister is afoot. And when death strikes, Fox-Browne finds himself recruited by the local constabulary to find the killer – which might be a problem if the murderer is as supernatural as some people think… >[From In Search of the Classic Mystery Novel ]
