Synopsis: The Staff of Thollecombe Manor

"The real mystery here is not that of the murderer's identity, but of why a Manor with only one inhabited room occupied by an old, dying man requires the full complement of a butler, a housekeeper, a cook, countless maids, a nanny, a gardener and a hall boy."

Hence why the title is not 'The Murder of a Currently Anonymous Lord', but 'The Staff of Thollecombe Manor' - a tale of tragedy, and romance, and knitting... but mostly of tragedy.
