Downton Abbey Meets Agatha Christie in This Sparkling MysteryFrom the tip of his black Homburg hat to the crease in his cheviot trousers, he\’s the epitome of a stylish 1930s English gentleman. His only problem? The body he’s just discovered. Drew Farthering loves a good mystery, although he generally expects to find it in the pages of a novel, not on the grounds of his country estate. With the help of beautiful and whip-smart Madeline Parker, visiting from America, Drew proposes to use the lessons he\’s learned reading mysteries in order to solve the crime. Before long, he realizes this is no lark, and no one at Farthering Place is who he appears to be — not the blackmailer, not the adulterer, not the embezzler, and not even Drew himself.

When the village of Farthering St. John is stunned by a series of murders, Drew Farthering is drawn again into the sleuthing game. Drew Farthering wanted nothing more than to end the summer of 1932 with the announcement of his engagement. Instead, he finds himself caught up in another mysterious case when the family solicitor is found murdered, an antique hatpin with a cryptic message, Advice to Jack, piercing his chest. Evidence of secret meetings and a young girl\’s tearful confession point to the victim\’s double life, but what does the solicitor\’s murder have to do with the murder of a physician on the local golf course? Nothing, it would seem–except for another puzzling note, affixed with a similar-looking bloodied hatpin.
