Summary

The Priory may be ramshackled in appearance, but Peter, Margaret and Celia, who have inherited it from their uncle, love it for its rambling charm. But there's more to this house than is at first apparent: for years hardly a single person has set foot in the place, and even their uncle chose to live in a different house.

Footsteps in the Dark Summary

Footsteps in the Dark by Georgette Heyer

The Priory may look ramshackle in appearance, but Peter, Margaret, and Celia, are totally charmed by their newly-inherited country house.

But there's more to The Priory than meets the eye.

Left empty for years, hardly a single person has set foot inside and, down in the village, the locals whisper of a ghostly figure that roams the halls . . .

When a murder is committed, the new owners start to fear the rumours are true - but is their new home really haunted, or is someone trying to scare them away?

Dark secrets, an unexplained death and an old country house lie at the heart of Georgette Heyer's classic murder mystery.

'A writer of great wit and style' DAILY TELEGRAPH

Rarely have we seen humour and mystery so perfectly blended * New York Times *
Sharp, clear and witty * The New Yorker *
The wittiest of detective writers * Daily Mail *
