Lord Gorell’s Classic Crime Collection. Illustrated : Country House Murders. The Devouring Fire, In the Night, livre ebook

Lord Gorell’s Classic Crime Collection: Country House Murders brings together two rare and compelling works of Golden Age detective fiction — The Devouring Fire and In the Night. Set against the elegant and deceptive calm of English country estates, these mysteries explore the darkness that often hides beneath refined surfaces.
In The Devouring Fire, a devastating blaze at a country house reveals more than just ashes—hidden secrets, tangled motives, and a death that may not have been accidental. Suspicion grows as the investigation uncovers a web of jealousy, betrayal, and long-buried grudges. Lord Gorell weaves a masterful tale of quiet tension and psychological insight, where every conversation hides a clue.
In the Night presents a chilling tale of murder that strikes under the cover of darkness. When a well-known guest is found dead after a country gathering, the enclosed setting turns into a pressure cooker of suspicion. As motives unravel and false leads accumulate, Lord Gorell crafts a puzzle that is both elegant and unsettling.
Both stories exemplify the “country house mystery” at its finest — atmospheric, character-driven, and intellectually satisfying. Gorell’s precise prose and subtle character work place him alongside the notable mystery writers of his era.
This beautifully curated and illustrated edition is a treasure for lovers of classic British crime fiction — a chance to rediscover a refined yet sinister world where murder hides behind manners.
