Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A fresh twist on the classic country-house mystery that is also a brilliant sendup of the genre. When publisher Athol Sefton is shot at a remote hunting lodge, it turns out almost everyone, guests and staff, had good reason to murder him.

Sefton's nephew Charles thinks he can solve the crime by applying the traditional 'rules of the game' he's picked up reviewing detective fiction. But to his annoyance, the killer won't play by those rules, and Charles finds he is the one under suspicion.

Duck Season Death by June Wright offers a clever and engaging take on mystery conventions, keeping readers guessing until the very end.
