Murders at Blackroyd Hall: 12 Five-Minute Whodunit Mysteries, 1924–1939

Blackroyd Hall, Yorkshire, 1924. The shooting parties arrive, the wedding guests dance, the charity committees scheme — and with a regularity the local newspaper finds suspicious, people connected with the house keep dying, disappearing, or losing things they cannot afford to lose. The one man who sees it all is Harker, the butler. These are his memoirs: twelve five-minute whodunit mysteries, 1924–1939. Every case plays fair — every clue is on the table before the end. Then comes the STOP page: lock in your accusation — a name, a method, a reason — and only then turn the page to the solution. For readers of Agatha Christie, of classic country-house mysteries, and of solve-it-yourself puzzle fiction.
