An abandoned English estate. The missing portrait. The murdered caretaker. This was not the inheritance she had hoped for.…After experiencing the death of her mother, divorce, and loss of her job in publishing over the past year, American Jo Jones suddenly inherits a family estate in North Yorkshire. But it's not a luxurious palace waiting for her, but a gloomy mansion that has been empty for more than a hundred years. With a hole in the roof, mold in the corners, a neglected garden and an almost rotten library. However, Joe, who has truly encyclopedic knowledge, but is timid from communicating with people, is not afraid of this. She enthusiastically undertakes the restoration of the estate and the study of the family history, about which she knows almost nothing. And then Joe finds the lifeless body of the caretaker of his new house with three bullet wounds in his back. And she realizes that she may become the main suspect in the murder. At the same time, a special portrait disappears from a secret room in the mansion, strangely connected with the discovered corpse and with the mysterious history of her family. With the help of an antique dealer from Wales, a surly local detective, and the wife of the pub owner, Joe must find the missing painting. And at the same time reveal the extremely unpleasant secrets of a small town and your own family. And she must do all this before the killer strikes again. . . _________________________________________________________"The intricate and fascinating book "Murder in an Abandoned Manor" is a must—read for any mystery lover.
