Benson takes on the genre -- which Agatha Christie did more than once -- of English diplomacy in remote castles -- with spies, of course.

Winter murder
Angela is a magnet for murder. Set over New Year Angela is snowed in with a family she barely knows. Freddy is the comic relief. Had my ideas about who done it but yet another story I was wrong

Angela Marchmont has been invited by the daughter Gertie, of the Earl of Strathmerrick, to Fives Castle to see in 1928. On arriving she becomes suspicious when she realises the Foreign Secretary, Alexander Buchanan and wife Eleanor, the American Ambassador, Audrey Nash and wife Selma with the Head of British Intelligence, Henry Jameson are among the guests. She is proved right when a body is discovered.
An enjoyable and well-written cozy mystery
