English Rain

Something dangerous is in the forecast at Moriston House, Lord Hugo Anstead's elegant estate tucked away in the rosy English countryside. A quiet afternoon is shattered when an anonymous note suggests that a murder will occur on the fourth day of rain in October. And when the detestable weather columnist, Walter Halston, is found dead in his office, the village sleuths suspect foul play. A dubious cast of suspects cloud the case, including his lazy son, Robert, whose alibi was unusually stormy. The other siblings, Gary and Lydia, keep their heads above water...until their father's unfashionable wife, Geraldine Croft, is found dead after consuming a fatal cup of tea. Time is running out for Lord Hugo Anstead and the village sleuths, as they uncover a dangerous trail of deception. But will they solve the case before the next deadly downpour?
