Description

On that particular evening, Christine and Henry Findon believed there were eleven people in the house. But the murder seemed to make it twelve. The weekend really started when a perfectly strange young man was seen on the stairs. Later that day, a woman houseguest discovered all of her left shoes were missing. Who would want them? And why? Then things stop being merely peculiar. A dead body is found, some valuable snuffboxes are stolen and two children who are staying with the Findons disappear. Strange alliances are formed and romance starts to blossom even as it becomes apparent that someone in the house is a killer. In her story of an English house party with violence as a most unwelcome guest, E. X. Ferrars blends humor, suspicion and suspense for a taut and absorbing entertainment.
