Summary
Downton Abbey meets Agatha Christie with a touch of Wodehouse and a dog of distinction.
It's 1920, and Christmas is coming.
Major Lennox finds a body on his doorstep - why on his doorstep? Was it to do with the Countess? Was it about the ruby necklace? Lennox goes to Melrose Court, home to his uncle, Lord Melrose, to uncover the mystery. But then, the murders begin, and it snows, and it all becomes very complicated.
Major Heathcliff Lennox, ex-WW1 war pilot, six feet 3 inches, tousled, dark blond hair, age around 30 - named after the hero of Wuthering Heights by his romantically minded mother - much to his great annoyance. Murder at Melrose Court is the first book in the Lennox series.

Very enjoyable
A very well laid out story - well paced and excellently performed. I enjoyed the humour and well disguised red herrings. A fantastic book to take one's mind off covid!

Country house murder mystery
Not my usual genre, so delighted that I loved it. Very entertaining. A good read, well read. Clever and stylish. Perfect escapism.

Light relief
Not to be taken seriously! A kind of ‘midsummer murders’ with butlers, uncles, foreign aristocrats and a dog. Passes the time.
