The Circular Staircase

A spinster of settled habits takes a country house for the summer, and by the second night a man has been shot at the foot of the stairs. You play Rachel Innes, who declines to leave. Twenty-three chapters of a house with too many doors, a nephew and a niece who both lie about where they were, a bank that has failed, and a maid who is certain about ghosts and wrong about everything else.
