What begins as an adventure soon becomes a nightmare ... Locals claim it is haunted and refuse to put a single toe past the front door, but to siblings Peter, Celia, and Margaret, the Priory is nothing more than a rundown estate inherited from their late uncle-and the perfect setting for a much-needed holiday. But when a murder victim is discovered in the drafty Priory halls, the once unconcerned trio begins to fear that the ghostly rumors are true and they are not alone after all! With a killer on the loose, will they find themselves the next victims of a supernatural predator, or will they uncover a far more corporeal culprit?

Work Description
BED, BREAKFAST AND MURDER
The ramshackle old house, with its rambling charm is beloved of Peter, Margaret and Celia, who have inherited it from their uncle. But local wisdom says The Priory is haunted. It wasn't the lack of modern conveniences that made a summer spent at the ancient priory mansion such an unsettling experience. It was the ghost... or whatever was groaning in the cellars and roaming the countryside around Framley Village after dark.
Then a murder is committed. But traditionally ghosts don't commit murder. And in this case, the things which go bump in the night are flesh and blood... and deadly. Does the key to the crime lie in the realm of the supernatural? Or is the explanation much more down to earth?
