  DS George Cross delves deep into the world of dirty politics in this Bristol detective series perfect for fans of Peter James and Joy Ellis.

  A shattered teacup. A tragic poisoning in the dead of night. And a country estate full of suspects with everything to gain. 
  In the quiet, picturesque bounds of Styles Court, the wealthy Mrs. Emily Inglethorp has been murdered in her bed. With doors locked from the inside and a grieving family pointing fingers, the local authorities are completely baffled. Enter Captain Hastings, a wounded war veteran seeking a peaceful retreat, who quickly finds himself thrust into the heart of a deadly conspiracy. Fortunately, Hastings knows a man with a genius for unraveling the impossible: an eccentric Belgian refugee named Hercule Poirot. 
  As Poirot begins to exercise his 'little grey cells,' the idyllic manor reveals a dark underbelly of forged wills, secret romances, and bitter rivalries. Everyone has a motive, from the enigmatic new husband to the desperate stepsons. Time is ticking as Poirot pieces together a trail of scattered clues—including a crushed coffee cup, a splash of candle grease, and a burned fragment of paper—to corner a meticulous killer before they vanish forever.

Filled with brilliant red herrings, cozy British manor house tropes, and classic amateur sleuth suspense, it offers a deeply satisfying whodunit experience for fans of golden age crime fiction and traditional police procedurals.
