Keď sa Dawnton Abbey stretne s Agathou Christie... Počnúc čiernym plsteným klobúkom a končiac pukmi na vlnených nohaviciach je Drew stelesnením anglického džentlmena 30-tych rokov. Jeho jediný problém? Mŕtvola, ktorú práve našiel. Drew Farthering obľubuje záhady, ale očakáva ich skôr na stránkach kníh, než na pozemku svojho vidieckeho sídla. S pomocou krásnej a bystrej Madeline Parkerovej, návštevníčky z Ameriky, a na základe poznatkov osvojených čítaním detektívok podujme zločin vyriešiť. Rýchlo však zisťuje, že to nie je hračka… Prichádza na to, že nikto v sídle Farthering Place nie je tým, za koho sa vydáva. Ani majordóm, ani vydierač, ani šofér, ani podvodník. Drew sa snaživo usiluje získať náskok pred vrahom a zároveň urobiť dojem na Madeline. Popritom sa však musí rozhodnúť, ako ďaleko chce v tejto nebezpečnej hre zájsť...

The Fartherings' Scottish Vacation Takes a Dark Turn Drew Farthering arrives in idyllic Scotland for the 1935 British Open at Muirfield hoping for a relaxing vacation, but he soon finds a mystery on his hands. Lord Rainsby, his host at Thorburn Hall, fears his business partner may be embezzling and asks Drew to quietly investigate. Before Drew can uncover anything, Rainsby is killed in a suspicious riding accident. Thorburn Hall is filled with guests, and as Drew continues to dig, he realizes that each might have had a motive. Together with Madeline and Nick, he must sort through shady business dealings, international intrigue, and family tensions to find a killer who always seems to be one step ahead.

Mystery Awaits on the Mysterious Yorkshire Moors At the urgent request of an old school friend, Drew and Madeline Farthering come to Bloodworth Park Lodge in the midst of the Yorkshire moors, a place as moody and mysterious as a Brontë hero. There have been several worrisome incidents out on the moor--property destroyed, fires started, sheep and cattle scattered--and worst of all, the vicar has been found dead on the steps of the church. Drew's friend is obviously smitten with his bride of eight months, though it's hard to imagine what she sees in the awkward man. Drew can't help wondering if her affections lie more with the man's money and estate, while her romantic interests focus on their fiery Welsh gamekeeper. As the danger grows ever closer, it's up to Drew to look past his own prejudices, determine what is really going on, and find the killer before it's too late.

WHEN THE VILLAGE OF FARTHERING ST. JOHN IS Stunned BY A SERIES OF MURDERS, DREW FARTHERING IS DRAWN again INTO THE SLEUTHING GAME. Drew Farthering wanted nothing more than to end the summer of 1932 with the announcement of his engagement. Instead, he finds himself caught up in another mysterious case when the family solicitor is found murdered, an antique hatpin with a cryptic message, Advice to Jack, piercing his chest. Evidence of secret meetings and a young girl's tearful confession point to the victim's double life, but what does the solicitor's murder have to do with the murder of a physician on the local golf course? Nothing, it would seem--except for another puzzling note, affixed with a similar-looking bloodied hatpin. Soon the police make an arrest in connection with the murders, but Drew isn't at all certain they have the right suspect in custody. And why does his investigation seem to be drawing him closer and closer to home? PRAISE for RULES OF MURDER "Readers will want to carve out uninterrupted time to read this mystery in one sitting. Red herrings at every turn will have them guessing and flipping pages until the shocking end." --Chandra McNeil, RT Book Reviews
