Truth is rarely pure and never simple…Selchester Castle
in 1953 sits quiet and near-empty, its corridors echoing with
glories of the past. Or so it seems to intelligence officer Hugo
Hawksworth, wounded on a secret mission and now reluctantly
assuming an altogether less perilous role at Selchester. The
Castle’s faded grandeur hides a web of secrets and scandals—the
Earl has been missing for seven years, lost without a trace
since the night he left his guests and walked out into a
blizzard. When a skeleton is uncovered beneath the flagstones of
the Old Chapel, the police produce a suspect and declare the
case closed. Hugo is not convinced. With the help of the
spirited Freya Wryton, the Earl’s niece, he is drawn back into
active service. With a touch of Downton Abbey, a whisper of
Agatha Christie and a nod to Le Carré, A Man of Some Repute is
the first book in this delightfully classic and witty murder
mystery series.
Characters: 64. Amazon rating: 4 stars. Genre: Mystery.
