Skeleton Out of the Cupboard

After a fellow guest is murdered she is taken under the wing of a local family, who invite her to stay at Arkwood, their magnificent stately home. But Clarissa's brush with intrigue and romance is not over yet - for it soon becomes apparent that the murderer is a resident at Arkwood itself. Fortunately for Clarissa, however, she is not the only guest - for Mr H.B. Treadgold, noted tailor and talented amateur sleuth, is also in residence...
