Lydon Hall is, as the estate agent's brochure puts it, a house full of character.
But its many interesting features should surely not include a corpse in the elegant drawing-room?
Is this death the suicide it appears to be?
Superintendent John Lambert and Sergeant Bert Hook are brought in to investigate the tight-knit village community which houses Lydon hall.
And everyone one they meet seems suspicious.
From the glamorous French widow of the deceased to the man living rough on the moor they all seem to know more about this death than is at first apparent.
Moreover, it gradually emerges that the staff of the estate agency he owned all had their different reasons for disliking the dead man…
‘Making a Killing’ is a chilling, expertly-plotted mystery story. It is perfect for fans of Ian Rankin and Peter Robinson.
