Murder of a Lady. Illustrated, livre ebook

Murder of a Lady by Anthony Wynne is a masterfully plotted locked-room mystery first published in 1931, set against the eerie, mist-shrouded backdrop of the Scottish Highlands. Blending atmosphere, intrigue, and classic puzzle elements, it stands as a quintessential example of Golden Age detective fiction.
The story begins with the murder of Miss Mary Gregor, a respected but enigmatic figure in the remote Duchlan Castle. Found stabbed in a locked room with no sign of forced entry, her death stuns the household—and raises unsettling questions. Even more chilling is the discovery of a mysterious fish scale at the crime scene. As the bodies begin to pile up, each murder more baffling than the last, the case seems to teeter on the edge of the supernatural.
Enter Dr. Eustace Hailey, a physician and amateur sleuth known for his calm reasoning and psychological insight. As he unravels family secrets and local legends, Hailey must pierce through layers of deception, superstition, and silence to uncover the truth.
With its atmospheric setting, intricate plot, and clever resolution, Murder of a Lady is a compelling read for fans of Agatha Christie, John Dickson Carr, and classic mystery lovers seeking an eerie and elegant whodunit.
