Cotswold Manners

Description for COTSWOLD MANNERS by Michael Spicer:

An air of mystery hangs over Greysham Park, the Elizabethan Cotswold home of Lord John Hildreth, who believes his ex-wife's lover, the Argentinian Antonio Alba, was murde3r3ed. But was it in fact a natural death following over-exertion at a polo match? Could Bobby Longfellow, the unpleasant and perverted Member of Parliament, be involved? And what role does the sinister and uncommunicative butler, Leyland, play?

Lady Hildreth returns to her former marital home to an evening of backbiting bitchiness and later, another death. This time there's no doubt; it's murder.

Her growing affection for John's brother, Michael, conflicts with her duties as a member of Britain's security services. Kidnapping and interrogation follow before Lady Hildreth finally unravels the mystery which has spun a concealing web over intrigue, smuggling and a quest for power involving Britain, France and the USA.
