Description

Welcome to Rook Hall.

The stage is set. The players are ready. By nights end, a murderer will be revealed.

Ex-detective Jackson Brodie is staving off a bad case of midlife malaise when he is called to a sleepy Yorkshire town, and the seemingly tedious matter of a stolen painting.

But one theft leads to another, including the disappearance of a valuable Turner from Burton Makepeace, home to Lady Milton and her family.

Once a magnificent country house, Burton Makepeace has now partially been converted into a hotel, hosting Murder Mystery weekends.

As paying guests, a vicar, an ex-army officer, impecunious aristocrats, and old friends converge, we are treated a fiendishly clever mystery; one that pays homage to the masters of the genrefrom Agatha Christie to Dorothy Sayers.

Brilliantly inventive, with all of Atkinsons signature wit, wordplay and narrative brio, Death at the Sign of the Rook may be Jackson Brodies most outrageous and memorable case yet.
