Father Tom Christmas has unfortunately sprained his ankle after jumping
out of an airplane as part of a fundraiser for his church's new roof.
Lady Fairhaven has offered to host him and his daughter for the weekend
while he recovers. He questions his decision to stay once he sees the
animosity between various members of the family.
The following morning while exploring the labyrinth for a bit of peace
and reflection, Tom come across the body of Lord Morborne. He has been
strangled. Awaiting the police, Tom notices marks on the bodies of
various guests at the house, which point to their possible transit
through the branches of the labyrinth. However, when the police
question everyone, they all seem to have plausible excuses and a
potential witness to their whereabouts.
A day later, one of the possible suspects is found murdered in his
workshop. Why would this person be killed when the police had him in
their sights? Author C. C. Benison then offers up more potential
suspects, and provides a surprising conclusion. A good, quick read.
