Do not let anyone in. Do not let anyone out. One of us is the killer.
Scotland, the 30s of the last century. For more than 600 years, the Inverkillene clan has been living in the clan estate for more than 600 years. The state of the family was significantly understated over the past centuries, and they are forced to engage in aristocrats unworthy of affairs: to sell salmon and produce crazy whiskey. Only none of this comes out, and to top it all in the river find the body of the 19th Count with a broken head.
The investigation is entrusted to the unlucky inspector Jarvis, who quickly writes off what happened for an accident. After all, there are no crimes in small towns, only fights in pubs. The only one who does not agree with such a conclusion is Mrs. McBein"s observational housekeeper. She knows much more secrets of a noble family than anyone else. She is sure that the murder occurred and the killer is hiding in the house of everyone in sight.
Bet Cowen-Erskin, like no other, knows what she writes about, because through her husband she was related to one ancient Scottish clan, which served as a source of inspiration for this book.
An entertaining story and fascinating immersion in the strange and amazing customs of the British aristocracy. - Xi Jay Bennet, the author of the bestseller Windsor knot
