From deep in the heart of his eighteenth century English manor, millionaire Sir Adrian Beauclerk-Fisk writes mystery novels and torments his four spoiled children with threats of disinheritance. Gathering them all together for a family dinner, he announces his latest blow—a secret elopement. Within hours, eldest son and appointed heir Ruthven is found cleaved to death by a medieval mace. And soon Sir Adrian himself is found slumped over his writing desk—an ornate knife thrust into his heart. Trapped amid leering gargoyles and stone walls, every member of the family is a likely suspect. Using a little Cornish brusqueness and brawn, can St. Just find the killer before the next-in-line to the family fortune ends up dead?

I did not check this out from the library for a time though, because you have to request it and have it waiting for you. So it languished on my list until I stumbled upon the titl...
It's exactly what the title says. It's also a light and pleasant entertainment, worth the eyeblinks. I don't think I'll pursue the series unless the second one falls in my lap somehow. But many a cozy reader will lap this up! Find out why at http://tinyurl.com/m2mtbnf
Boring. Couldn't get into any of the characters or the story.
