Footsteps in the Dark

BED, BREAKFAST AND MURDER

The ramshackle old house, with its rambling charm is beloved of Peter, Margaret and Celia, who have inherited it from their uncle. But local wisdom says The Priory is haunted. It wasn't the lack of modern conveniences that made a summer spent at the ancient priory mansion such an unsettling experience. It was the ghost... or whatever was groaning in the cellars and roaming the countryside around Framley Village after dark.

Then a murder is committed. But traditionally ghosts don't commit murder. And in this case, the things which go bump in the night are flesh and blood... and deadly. Does the key to the crime lie in the realm of the supernatural? Or is the explanation much more down to earth?
