THE SUPPER CLUB MURDERS

The phones are out. The roads have flooded. There's no way in or out. And the murders have begun.

Ursula Smart and her mother, Pandora, are invited to a supper safari at Greystone Castle, with their ever-adventurous book club. Their hosts are Lord and Lady Black, who bought their titles and have taken up residence in the castle at the edge of a picturesque Dartmoor village. But the quaint, idyllic façade soon fades as festering resentments begin to surface. Ursula and Pandora sense all is not well at Greystone. And when the Midnight Gun fires, their suspicions are proved right. Death is all around them in this ancient castle - in the priest hole, the murder hole, on the ducking stool.

The Smart women race to solve a seemingly impossible murder, even as the body count rises. Who will be next?
