Sinopsis
Darriby Hall is famous for entertaining second-tier aristocrats, tales from distant lands and a dead body... every now and then.
On a frigid winter's night, Lady Darriby-Jones is roused from her daydreaming by an unexpected late-night visitor, a familiar yet vexing presence known for annual visits to the Darriby estate. Hailing from her Welsh village, she grudgingly invites him in, leaving his care to her butler. Little does she know that this decision will lead to a grim discovery the next morning.
In the early light of day, a shrill cry pierces the serenity, unveiling a most unwelcome gift of the the uninvited guest from the previous night lies lifeless.
Amid the ensuing chaos, Lady Darriby-Jones is left to contemplate a series of confounding
1. Why did she grant this man an overnight refuge in her residence?
2. What sinister connection lies behind a bottle of her beloved gin beside the deceased?
3. How could someone have taken his life when he was confined within a room with no apparent escape?
It becomes evident that this enigma is one that Lady Darriby-Jones may not unravel. However, with an inept, ill-tempered law enforcement officer assigned to the case and a young family member implicated as the prime suspect, she must sift through the scant breadcrumbs of clues to disentangle this bewildering puzzle.
Will she succeed in unmasking a shrewd killer, or will this chilling incident forever taint the most cherished season of the year with haunting memories?..M.F

Once again Lady Darriby-Jones has a murder in her home. This time it is a tramp who has been strangled in an empty locked room. How could that be possible. There is a new person in the house & (just because hes new) he got arrested by the DCI. Meanwhile back at the mansion virtually everyone has the runs. Poor Lady D-J & Alfie have to take on everything including clearing up nasty messes. Once they are slowly recovering the local Sergeant gets sent to look closely at the room, & quite by chance a tunnel under the room is discovered. Going on in the background is the fact that a lunatic Lord who Lady D-J helped put into prison has escaped & will definitely be looking to get revenge. Another amusing read, easily read in one evening. Big Fat Hairy Man188 2
Lady Darriby-Jones is awakened to a puzzling murder. A man has been killed in a locked room and if she doesn't find out who did it and how it was done then a young member of her family may end up paying for it. This is an entertaining, intriguing, cozy mystery that held my attention.

Love Lady Darriby-Jones way of thinking and working out mysteries. While I really enjoyed the previous two books, this one seemed to drag a little bit. Really the title and the mystery connected with it. Looking forward to more of this series.

Lady Darriby-Jones is confronted with the past when a man escapes from prison. No slugs! I think this story is the best one, better than the other two.

Easy reading cozy with a fun play on words. A mixed bag of characters and personalities makes this an interesting read.
I read this book as part of an advance reader team and am providing my honest opinion. Heart DeCoupeville249
The description of this book is just not very appealing, but when a quick glance at the cover screams YOU CAN'T HAVE A '57 BEL-AIR CONVERTIBLE IN 1920s WALES, well, it's just a total no go.
I don't know who CleanTales Publishing is, but their art department . . . . has problems.2 s Elainebowden281 1 followerRead
