The Murder at Sissingham Hall is a historical mystery modeled very much on the Agatha Christie style – isolated manor house so the murderer has to be one of the household or guests. There is an interesting twist in what was going on as a resolution, but I’d guessed much of what occurred, the clues where a little heavy-handed. An okay read for fans of historical mysteries.
