The Tragedy at Freyne
Anthony Gilbert
'An unusually well told mystery tale' - NEW YORK TIMES
A haunting country-house mystery of jealousy, secrets, and betrayal from the Golden Age of detective fiction.
When celebrated painter Simon Chandos is found dead in his secluded Sussex home, what first appears to be a suicide soon unravels into something far darker.
