Book description
The Priory may be ramshackled in appearance, but Peter, Margaret and
Celia, who have inherited it from their uncle, love it for its
rambling charm. But there's more to this house than is at first
apparent: for years hardly a single person has set foot in the place,
and even their uncle chose to live in a different house, far away from
this particular property.
Local wisdom says that the house is haunted. And when things start
going bump in the night, it certainly seems as if something ghostly is
walking the Priory's halls. Then a murder is committed. Does the key
to solving the crime lie in the realm of the supernatural? Or is the
explanation much more down to earth?
Author of over fifty books, Georgette Heyer is the best-known and
best-loved of all historical novelists, making the Regency period her
own. Her first novel, The Black Moth, published in 1921, was
written at the age of fifteen to amuse her convalescent brother; her
last was My Lord John. She wrote twelve detective stories,
which earned her much critical acclaim and the title 'Queen of Crime.'
Georgette Heyer died in 1974 at the age of seventy-one.
