Description

Murderous Curse is a gripping murder mystery set in the eerie seaside village of Checkham-on-Sea, England, during the early 1920s. This enthralling tale plunges readers into a world of dark secrets, ancient curses, and relentless suspense. When Tony Clifton's promising rugby career is abruptly overshadowed by his father's sudden death, he is forced to abandon his studies and care for his sister, Ena.

The siblings relocate to a desolate bungalow town, seeking a fresh start. But their hopes for a new beginning are shattered when Lord Lantham, the reclusive owner of Lantham Castle, is found brutally murdered under inexplicable circumstances. As Detective Cellars from Scotland Yard takes on the case, he quickly realizes that this is no ordinary murder. The village is rife with rumors of a curse that has haunted the Lantham family for generations, and each clue seems to deepen the mystery. From hidden passages in the ancient castle to the sinister behaviors of the villagers, Cellars must navigate a labyrinth of secrets to uncover the truth. With the help of Tony Clifton, now caught in a web of intrigue, Detective Cellars unravels a tale of old grudges, forbidden love, and dark family secrets.

As the investigation progresses, it becomes clear that the past holds many answers, and the curse that looms over the Lantham family may be more real than anyone could have imagined. Will Detective Cellars and Tony Clifton uncover the truth behind Lord Lantham's murder, or will the curse claim more victims? Find out in Murderous Curse, a riveting mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

Immerse yourself in this atmospheric and chilling English murder mystery, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, and classic whodunits. Murderous Curse combines a richly detailed setting, complex characters, and a plot full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the very end.
