The Affair of the Mutilated Mink - A delightfully quirky murder mystery in the great tradition of Agatha Christie

The Earl of Burford cannot believe his luck. Rex Ransom, his favourite film star, and a hot-shot producer want to film their next feature at Alderley, the family''s seventeenth-century country estate. Somewhat less enthusiastic are the Countess and poor Merryweather, the family''s butler, who suddenly find themselves hosting the incoming Hollywood crowd. And that''s before there''s a murder in the dead of night.Paying homage to Golden Age crime fiction in which even the red herrings are impeccably turned out, The Affair of the Mutilated Mink is a must-read for armchair sleuths.
