Synopsis

A séance in the belltower, a ghost in the gallery, and a corpse in the cloister.

Famed sleuth Lord Edgington travels to a former abbey in the south-west of France, but as the chimes of midnight strike for Halloween night, a man is killed. Has the victim's past caught up with him or is something more sinister at play in the crumbling château?

A ghostly figure walks the halls. A spiritualist plies her trade and, somewhere in the dark, the killer plots his next attack. As Lord Edgington and his irrepressible (if sleepy) assistant race to unravel the lies of a châteauful of suspects, one question lingers: why did the group of supposed strangers travel all that way for a séance in the first place?

This witty, twisty, pleasantly spooky 1930s whodunit will keep you guessing until the final bell tolls and the killer’s name is revealed. "A Deadly Halloween at Château de Camon" is a standalone entry in the bestselling "Lord Edgington Investigates Abroad" series of classic mysteries. Agatha Christie meets "Downton Abbey" on a grand tour of Europe!

About Benedict Brown

I’m a Welsh-Irish-Englishman originally from South London but now living in Burgos, a beautiful city in the north of Spain, with my French-Spanish wife and our young daughter.

Writing has always been my passion. It was my favourite half-an-hour a week at primary school, and I started on my first, truly abysmal book as a teenager. So it wasn’t a difficult decision to study literature at university which led to an MA in Creative Writing.

I grew up in a crime-fiction-mad family and had made a few clumsy attempts at writing one over the years before coming up with the idea for my contemporary whodunits "The Izzy Palmer Mysteries". My second series, the 1920s-set "Lord Edgington Investigates...", has been a great success, with each of the books becoming a bestseller.

If you'd like to tell me what you think about my detectives, my writing or the world at large, I’d love to hear from you, so feel free to get in touch at www.benedictbrown.net where you can also download my free mystery novellas and join my readers' club.
