Spence at Marlby Manor
Lady Dinnister of Marlby Manor was elderly, but there was a lot of life in her yet. When a barbed bouquet of red roses pierced her palm, she thought it was a nasty accident. When the front wheel fell off her Rolls-Royce, she thought it was a mechanical mishap. But when her hairdryer turned into a lethal weapon, she decided someone was trying to kill her. Detective Ben Spence suspected she was right. He knew there was a whole household of sinister servants. He knew there were two spoiled grandchildren eager to be rich. What he didn't know was why, when a murderous deed finally occurred at Marlby Manor, it wasn't Lady Dinnister who ended up dead.
