Murder at the Wake: a compelling British crime mystery

Murder at the Wake: a compelling British crime mystery (Detective Inspector Skelgill Investigates Book 7)

ONE WEEK AFTER THE DEATH of his 93-year-old twin brother, the reclusive Declan Thomas Oâ€™More is found murdered in his study at the ancestral family estate, rambling and isolated Crummock Hall.

Suspicion immediately falls upon his five great nieces and nephews, who between them stand to inherit the considerable proceeds of their grandfatherâ€™s will - along with a valuable library of antiquarian books, a collection that is Declanâ€™s lifetime work.

And yet each member of this generation - which includes a famous actor and a successful author - is apparently wealthy in their own right. Why would any of them murder their great uncle?

DI Skelgill and his team must unravel a mystery that not only harks back to the tragic drowning of the childrenâ€™s parents in Crummock Water in the 1980s, but may also have its roots in the despicable Triangular Trade that enriched so many British and Irish merchant families in the eighteenth century.
