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

‘Bursting with the staples of classic crime’ Guardian 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.
