Tod in der Bibliothek

The first volume of a new crime series featuring the attractive detective St John Strafford. A classic crime story begins: A clergyman is found dead in the library of an Irish manor house. The number of suspects is rather small. Who in the family has the clergyman's blood on their hands? "The body is in the library," said Colonel Osborne. "This way, please." The deceased is a churchman, Father Tom, who met with a foul end. According to the Colonel, he was quite popular in the area. However, his daughter Lettie did not particularly like him. Then there’s Sylvia Osborne, the Colonel's second wife, who is 25 years younger than him, the handsome son Dominic, and the somewhat simple stable boy Fonsey. Is the murderer to be found within this small circle? As the snow continues to fall, Detective St John Strafford, shivering, tries to track down the clergyman's killer. A classic whodunit set against a wonderfully wintry backdrop in rural Ireland, and a must-read for all Agatha Christie fans.
