The Wrong Kind of Dead
Caldwell Manor, Wiltshire · 1957
"A locked house. An open safe. The money trail is a lie."
Caldwell Manor keeps its heating off and its opinions to itself. On the night in question the doors were locked, the safe stood open, and every guest under its roof could tell you to the shilling what they believed the house owed them. Frost on the lawns. Sherry in the library. A ledger that refuses to add up the same way twice. Follow the money if you like; it has been waiting for you, and it lies.
That is all the file will tell you. The rest arrives on the night, one piece of evidence at a time, and nobody at your table will see the whole of it until the end.
