Murder at Maybridge Castle: The new Christmas murder mystery for 2023 from the 'modern rival to Agatha Christie' (Paperback) - Ada Moncrieff

A harmless game of Murder in the Dark? Or an invitation to die for?

The brand new, festive murder mystery for 2023 from 'modern rival to Agatha Christie' Ada Moncrieff

It's Christmas 1936 and an eclectic list of guests and staff have gathered for the grand reopening of Maybridge castle, a newly renovated yet still crumbling hotel deep in the Cumbrian countryside.

Amongst them are a doctor and his new wife, tarot readers, a journalist, an elderly amateur sleuth and her cat. By the time the first sherries have been drunk a person will be dead. An innocent game of murder-in-the-dark turns into a real game of life and death. Someone has changed the rules...but who?
