Abigail Summers, dressmaker in life, brilliant sleuth in death, begins her next investigation when her friend, psychic medium Hayley, and her policeman husband, Tom, are invited to a 1930s style weekend housewarming at Wildwood Manor.

Afternoon tea, croquet and tennis are planned with the hosts, Jasper Cravensby and Lady Caroline Hatton, but murder is not on the menu. As the body count rises, the members of The Deadly Detective Agency wonder if the deaths are part of a game or if they're connected to relationships and secrets of the old manor house.

Meanwhile Hayley agrees to get rid of her Mini; the radio isn't supposed to work, so why is it playing old songs? Abigail thinks the titles are pointing to something that happened in the car, but is it connected to Seth Moore, who disappeared on his way home from the Featheridge UFO Club, or do the clues reveal something deeper and deadlier?

Set in the small village of Becklesfield, the eleventh book in Ann Parker's Abigail Summers Cozy Mysteries, THE DEADLY MANOR HOUSE, weaves together suspense, humour and a touch of the paranormal.
