Murder at Newstead Abbey
by Joan Smith
The Berkeley Brigade (Lord Luten, Corinne deCoventry, Coffen Pattle and Sir Reginald Prance) have come to Byron's Newstead Abbey to celebrate Christmas. But Pattle finds a long-buried body on the estate's island and the Brigade is intrigued. Suspects aplenty: the odd local vicar, the mysterious Vulch and his missing wife, Sir William and Lady Richardson who arrived in the neighborhood before expected-and rumored ghosts at the Abbey.
