The Last Guest of Thornwood Manor
A stormy English countryside estate, a shattered heirloom, and a host who never made it to dessert.
The Case Synopsis
On the eve of the 1927 winter solstice, Lord Reginald Thornwood gathered his closest confidants and estranged kin to announce the revision of his estate. When the midnight chime struck, the library doors swung open—and Lord Reginald was found dead in his mahogany armchair. Every guest holds a secret, and one is a killer.
