The Earl of Burford cannot believe his luck. Rex Ransom, his favourite
film star, and a hot-shot producer want to film their next feature at
Alderley, the family's seventeenth-century country estate. Somewhat less
enthusiastic are the Countess and poor Merryweather, the family's
butler, who suddenly find themselves hosting the incoming Hollywood
crowd. And that's before there's a murder in the dead of night...
Paying homage to Golden Age crime fiction in which even the red herrings
are impeccably turned out, The Affair of the Mutilated Mink is a
must-read for armchair sleuths.
