The Glenlitten Murder

Glenlitten Manor is the home of Andrew, Marquis Glenlitten, and his lovely, tiny, vivacious French wife, Felice. On the night of a (recurring) small game hunt, the somewhat unsavory Baron de Bresset is murdered, while Lady Felice's family heirloom diamond necklace is stolen. Guests include Sir Richard Cotton (famous London criminal lawyer) Sir Richard Haslam (African colonial administrator), Prince Charles de Seuss (impoverished Russian nobleman), and other friends and family.


Who stole the necklace, and killed de Bresset is the question. The subplot around the origins of Felice, who was orphaned in a French chateau at a very young age, form an interesting side story.
