Lord Edmund Blackwood is found dead in his study, its door bolted from the inside. A sealed room, a house full of secrets and a killer who seems impossible. Who did it?
Sunday, November 17th — Blackwood Manor, a sprawling Victorian estate set deep in the Derbyshire countryside, surrounded by ancient oak trees and rolling moorland that stretches for miles in every direction. The manor has been the seat of the Blackwood family for five generations, its grey stone facade and mullioned windows a testament to old English aristocracy. On clear days you can see the spire of St. Andrew's Church in the village of Thornfield, three miles to the south. On foggy nights — and this was a foggy night — the manor sits in perfect, suffocating isolation.
Lord Edmund Blackwood, 72, had invited two guests for a weekend stay: his daughter Victoria, who had returned from eight years living in Paris just three days earlier, and his business partner of two decades, Arthur Greyson. It was meant to be a reconciliation of sorts — Edmund reaching out to the daughter he had driven away with his controlling temperament, while simultaneously addressing growing concerns about the company he and Greyson had built together.
3 people had the means, the motive, or the opportunity. Only one of them is the killer.
