The Novels of Georgette Heyer – A Celebration

Early Georgette Heyer Collection

Ein Toter im Herrenhaus, eine Familie voller Geheimnisse - und jeder hat etwas zu verbergen. Willkommen auf Grinley Heath, wo das Gift nicht nur im Glas lauert. 1930, ein englisches Landhaus im Nebel: Lord Gregory Matthews wird morgens tot in seinem Bett gefunden. Herzversagen, sagt der Arzt. Doch seine Schwester glaubt nicht an einen natürlichen Tod - und sie ist nicht die Einzige, die Zweifel hegt. Scotland Yard schickt Superintendent Hannasyde, doch je tiefer er in das Geflecht aus Intrigen, Streit und alten Kränkungen eintaucht, desto klarer wird: In diesem Haus hätte jeder ein Motiv für Mord. Die Matthews sind alles andere als eine harmonische Familie. Da ist der hitzköpfige Guy, den sein Onkel nach Südamerika verbannen wollte, Stellas verbotene Liebe zum Arzt, die exzentrische Tante Harriet - und ein Testament, das mehr als nur Habgier weckt. Während draußen der Nebel über der Heide hängt, kocht drinnen die Stimmung über. Georgette Heyer entfaltet einen klassischen britischen Kriminalroman voller Ironie, bissiger Dialoge und überraschender Wendungen - ein Genuss für alle, die die raffinierte Spannung von Agatha Christie und das Flair englischer Landhauskrimis lieben. Wer war Gregory Matthews wirklich? Und wer wollte ihn wirklich tot sehen? Die Antwort liegt verborgen zwischen Tee, Tratsch und tödlichen Absichten.
