Country House Mysteries: From Agatha Christie to Modern Manor House Whodunits 🏰

Suggest a book for the podcast or say hello! ⛲ What would you do if you received an invitation to a weekend at a grand estate? Accept? Or, if you’re a mystery reader, you might check the guest list for someone with murderous intentions before you RSVP. 🏛️ Join me as I look at why this setting has worked for more than a century, how it differs from a village mystery, a locked room, and a closed circle, and which books to try first. 📚 I’ll walk through Golden Age country houses, downstairs detectives, modern country house mysteries that still play fair, and a few of my own 1920s house-party mysteries. 📥 Download the printable reading list: Country House Mysteries with a Downton Abbey Flavor (PDF).
