Brought to you by Penguin. Dark secrets, an unexplained death and an old country house lie at the heart of Georgette Heyer's classic murder mystery. The Priory may look ramshackle in appearance, but Peter, Margaret, and Celia, are totally charmed by their newly-inherited country house. But there's more to The Priory than meets the eye. Left empty for years, hardly a single person has set foot inside and, down in the village, the locals whisper of a ghostly figure that roams the halls . . . When a murder is committed, the new owners start to fear the rumours are true - but is their new home really haunted, or is someone trying to scare them away?

Heyer was still quite young when she wrote this. For experienced Heyer readers it will seem a bit immature, but she does a good job nonetheless. (Immature Heyer is better than 95% of anyone else's better work.)
It has some of the standard features you find in pre-WWI British mysteries (e.g., old, complex manor, complicated terrain, secret passages, physical danger, chase scene, and ,of course, romance). However, the characters are well drawn and multifaceted.
