The Secret of Musterton House - Paperback

by George Granby (Author)

The chill air of murder and mystery casts a spell of freezing terror around The Secret of Musterton House, by George Granby. A casual acquaintance calls at lonely Musterton House on a wild rainy night. He begs shelter, but by morning he has vanished-an unknown corpse found in his bed. Colonel Litchet is bewildered, and more than a little worried. His wife and her elderly family servant may know more than they are saying. The local constabulary begin investigations, but soon Scotland Yard arrives in the person of Chief-Inspector Michael Collon, a jovial Irishman with a keen nose for the truth, and his own way of getting the job done. "An excellent mystery with the accompaniment of literary merit" (1929 review).

The author of The Secret of Musterton House used a pseudonym, but was likely Major Leonard Molloy (DSO) (1861-1937), Irish physician and politician, based on the dedication to Mrs. Molloy.

The Secret of Musterton House was published in 1929.
