Description

Downtown Abbey meets Agatha Christie covered in snow in this utterly captivating murder mystery. Christmas 1937. An assortment of guests, including journalist turned amateur sleuth Daphne King, have arrived at Maybridge Castle, deep in the Cumbrian countryside. Hector Hayton, once something of a fixture on the society circuit of London, has recently purchased the castle and transformed it into 'England's first and only bona fide haunted hotel'. Guests can enjoy a range of ghoulish activities, from seances with a local medium to tours of the forest bordering the castle, where newly-discovered graves suggest that it is the final resting place of countless women persecuted in the witch trials. During a game of murder-in-the-dark, however, one of the guests is killed, and it becomes clear that Maybridge Castle lives up to its haunted reputation.
