  • MediaDB / «Footsteps in the dark. The Murder of Adam Penhallow" by Georgette Heyer: download fb2, read online

    About the book: 2017 / Young Peter, Celia and Margaret, who inherited an old estate from their uncle, laughed at village rumors that it was inhabited by vengeful ghosts ... Until the cheerful holiday they organized for their friends ended in a brutal murder. Is there really something mysterious and deadly on the estate? Or, perhaps, the estate became the hunting grounds not of a person from the other world, but of a very real one, but that’s why no less dangerous criminal?.. The fact that Adam Penhallow was killed, or rather poisoned, did not surprise anyone. What was rather surprising was that this sarcastic rich man with a bad character, who received true pleasure from mocking his relatives, acquaintances and servants, even lived to see old age. This is why everyone around the victim is under suspicion. But how do you find the real killer among more than a dozen suspects, each of whom had both a motive and the opportunity to commit a crime??
