Learn more about Murder at Knebworth, a classic mystery “whodunit” set in an English country house.
Murder at Knebworth, by Charles W. Snyder, tells the story of Philip and Marie Deflorette, a couple hailing from the Carolinas who came to England as Confederate agents. They remained in England after the Civil War, believing it would be dangerous to return to the reunited United States. No longer supported by the government that sent them overseas, they try to improve their difficult situation by attempting to climb into the upper ranks of English high society. An introduction to Lord Lytton, a statesman and bestselling novelist, lands Philip a job and gives Marie an opportunity to pursue her dream of becoming a composer.
But when Philip receives an anonymous note threatening death if they do not leave England at once, he believes it would be best to return to America after all. But Marie, unaware of the threat, insists on accepting Lytton’s invitation to spend a week, along with other invited guests, at his country place, Knebworth House. There, in an imposing centuries’ old mansion, adorned with spires and gargoyles, and surrounded by a beautiful park and gardens, the Deforettes will find that many things are not what they seem.
