![Murder at High Tor Manor: A Digby Rolf Mystery Book Three (Digby Rolf Mysteries 3) by [Hall, Raymond M]](https://images-fe.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41nX3uO%2BuhL._SY346_.jpg)
Having read both “The Hanged Man” and “In the Shadow of the Reaper”, I eagerly purchased and immersed myself in this murder mystery. For those unfamiliar with the series, Digby Rolf is, or rather, was, a reverend from a small country village who has slowly but surely become a renowned detective in mid-21st century London. Having solved a murder that saw an innocent man hung and having found a serial murderer who had terrorized in both England and France, Digby now runs his own detective agency in London.
The series now takes a turn towards the desolate isolation of Bodmin in Cornwall on the southwestern coast of England. In a true Gothic setting rife with misty moors, furtive butlers, mysterious creatures, a creepy mansion, perpetual fog, and a pervasive mood of doom and gloom, Digby finds himself at the center of another murder. This time, a wealthy noble is found dead, and one by one, other members of his family disappear or are also killed. What’s happening? Who’s behind it?
With well-written characters and a plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat, you’ll want to read this again and again. Author Raymond Hall knows how to draw you in with clever dialogue, unforgettable characters, plenty of drama and humor, and a dark setting you won’t soon forget. Perfect for lovers of Sherlock Holmes!
