"I'm sorry, this is irrelevant isn't it?" The Reverend butted in."Nothing's irrelevant, Reverend." Turncoat usually believed this to be true, but he had to admit to himself this one did seem pretty beside the point.The esteemed Earl of Mersey has been found dead in a room of Merseyshire Manor, his stately home, which has been locked from the inside. The only suspects are the Manor's staff, the members of the Special Home Integrity Team, an organisation who have devoted their lives to the preservation of old buildings, and his wife. Now it's up to the consistently competent Detective Inspector Stanley Turncoat and his sidekick PC Jesse Fletcher, in whom the feudal spirit is alive and well, to figure out the dastardly crime. Who killed the Earl? How did they escape the locked room? Will Turncoat get to ask anyone for "just one more thing"? Some of these questions will be answered in Stanley Turncoat and the Murder at Merseyshire Manor.
