The Case of the Carnaby Castle Curse

The ancient curse of Carnaby Castle has begun taking victims again — either that, or someone’s very cleverly done away with the new young bride of the philandering family patriarch, and the chief suspect is none other than Carnaby, London’s finest club steward.

Anty’s wits and witticisms are tested to their northern limit as he sifts the superstitions, suspicions, and age-old schisms of the mediaeval Peak District village of Hoy to sort out how it was done before Carnaby’s served his last scotch-and-soda.

Like all Anty Boisjoly puzzlers, this is a stand-alone, repertory story intended for those who like their twisty mysteries narrated with a little strategic silliness and boisterous banter.

Accordingly, it’s best to begin with a course of five-star reviews...

“Hilarious and charming.”

“Remarkable wit, unforgettable characters, and a plot that all bring out the best in the mystery genre.”

“In creating our hero, Anthony (Anty to friends) Boisjoly, the author has pulled off his ambition of combining P G Wodehouse and Agatha Christie.”

“While the plot twists and turns around alibis and an ancient curse, it is the dialogue which makes this book a five star.”

“Another delightful romp.”

“Excellent read and loaded with mind twisting red herrings!”

“Another charming, delightful, locked room mystery.”

“I absolutely love this series of humour, mystery and twists. It is one of very very few books that have made me laugh throughout.”

“Wit. Humor. Word play. Clever mystery. Check ☑”
