A Terribly Savage Killing

A funeral on a remote country estate descends into chaos and murder when the deceased proves unexpectedly and most inconveniently alive in this latest Mr. Quayle mystery.

England, 1926. Following the death of the Viscount Featherstone, his closest friends and most hated family descend upon his isolated mansion for the funeral and—more importantly—for the will-reading. Among the guests are Featherstone's first and second wives with their assorted brood of ne'er-do-well children, along with the love of Featherstone's life, the woman he jilted almost forty years before—Lady Constance.

The only trouble is that Featherstone is very much alive and is not at all pleased to see them, but when someone starts picking the unwanted guests off one by one, Mr. Quayle must race against time not only to save the Unsworth's reputation but their very lives!

A Terribly Savage Killing is the third novel in the Mr. Quayle Mystery series.
