Tragedy at Ravensthorpe

A grand masked ball. An aristocratic estate. And a crime cloaked in elegance and deception.

In Tragedy at Ravensthorpe, Chief Constable Sir Clinton Driffield arrives at the Ravensthorpe estate just in time for an opulent 1920s masquerade—but behind the silk masks and champagne toasts, danger simmers. A mysterious figure is stalking the halls, family tensions threaten to erupt, and whispers of local folklore—including the enigmatic “Fairy Houses”—haunt the estate grounds.

As the night unfolds and a shocking crime is uncovered, Sir Clinton must navigate a maze of secrets, inheritance disputes, and carefully guarded identities to uncover the truth.

This classic British whodunit from the golden age of detective fiction is a masterclass in suspense and deduction—elegant, sinister, and utterly engrossing.
