The Ghosts of Dunmore Castle — Murder Mystery Case File
**The roads are buried. The telephone is dead. And someone in this castle is a murderer.**
January 1st, 1929. Dunmore Castle stands alone in the Scottish Highlands, buried under a New Year's blizzard. The Laird is found dead in his library armchair — whisky laced with aconitine, extracted from monkshood plants in the castle garden. The roots were recently disturbed, despite the frost. A secret passage behind the bookshelf reveals fresh footprints in centuries-old dust. No one can leave. No one can call for help.
Six suspects trapped within ancient walls: a wife with a title to protect, a war-scarred son, a daughter hiding debts, a family physician who knows too much, a historian researching the castle's darkest chapter, and a housekeeper who has kept secrets for thirty years.
