This is a whodunnit set in a mansion. The head of the family is dead, and all of his children had a stake in his death. The police are on the scene, but a famous private detective is also brought along - but we don't know who hired him. As the story unfolds it turns out there's a lot of cash in play and that these fine folk will do whatever they have to do to grab it.
It's very well written, with a plot that very nearly makes sense and very nearly resonates emotionally. Recommended. For an entertaining two hours that feels ever so slightly off.
