The House

Mysteries to solve and plots to be thickened in a more reasonable, not so distant past.
Four untimely deaths and the brutal murder of a budgie called Bertie.
The indefatigable, stalwart housekeeper with a sad secret past.
The rascally yet good hearted and occasionally disaster-prone youth.
The wise and ancient widow who sees all and misses nothing.
The motliest bunch of disparates that ever graced a dilapidated old house.
With amazingly copious amounts of tea drinking.
And the blonde.
