'A sharp and absolutely hilarious spoof of the country house murder mystery... The whodunnit is a fun one... Such a fantastic read. I laughed out loud reading this many times, never more so than at the very end of the epilogue. Terrific stuff'

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It's the 1930s and a mysterious illness is spreading over Scotland. But the noble and ancient family of
Inverkillen
, residents of
Loch Down Abbey
, are much more concerned with dwindling toilet roll supplies and who will look after the children now that Nanny has regretfully (and most inconveniently) departed this life.
Then Lord Inverkillen, Earl and head of the family, is found dead in mysterious circumstances.
The inspector declares it an accident but
Mrs MacBain
, the head housekeeper, isn't so convinced. As no one is allowed in or out because of the illness, the residents of the house - both upstairs and downstairs - are the only suspects. With the Earl's own family too busy doing what can only be described as nothing, she decides to do some digging - in between chores, of course - and in doing so uncovers a whole host of long-hidden secrets, lies and betrayals that will alter the dynamics of the household for ever.
Perfect for fans of
Downton Abbey
, Agatha Christie and Richard Osman's
The Thursday Murder Club
,
is a playful, humorous mystery that will keep you glued to the page!
Readers love Loch Down Abbey!
