Description
On a cold winter's afternoon, a table set with teacups awaits eight guests. The atmosphere is tense as Alberta Mansbridge waits to greet them. However, when the guests arrive, the door is locked, and there is no response to their knocking. Alberta has been murdered, and with no sign of robbery or break in, the killer must have been someone she let into the house herself.
Inspector Corby is tasked with solving the case, which proves to be a complex web of motives and alibis. With eight suspects and no clear leads, he must navigate a intricate puzzle to uncover the truth. The investigation takes him from the scene of the crime to Alberta's roots in Yorkshire, where the mystery deepens.
A gripping mystery unfolds as Inspector Corby searches for the truth behind Alberta's murder. With its intricate plot and complex characters, this book is a worthwhile read for fans of the genre.
