| Summary |
Max--Anglican priest, former MI5 agent, and village heartthrob--investigates two deaths at Chedrow Castle. But his growing attraction to Awena Owen complicates his case, as does the recent arrival at Chedrow Castle of a raucous group of long-lost, greedy relatives, any one of whom has a motive for murder. |

| Summary |
Imagine the headlines: "Twins Dead at Castle." The victims are the miserly patriarch, viciously stabbed, and his sister, found dead in the greenhouse. Astutely, Detective Chief Inspector Cotton deploys his local contact and friend, Vicar Max Tudor (former MI5!), and plants him in the castle as an unofficial spy. Max has his hands full with a group of sullen relatives, all of whom have less-than-righteous agendas and some of whom haven't caught on that a murderer is in their midst. When the next victim falls, folks begin to pay more attention. |
