Title: The Secret of Combe Castle
Author: Matthew Costello, Neil Richards
Published: April 6th 2015 by Bastei Entertainment
Format: Kindle, 109 pages
Genre: Short Story / Mystery
Series: Cherringham #14
First Sentence: Oswald FitzHenry was about to pull off his wellies, still slimy wet.
From the Publisher: When the penniless FitzHenrys, proprietors of the rundown Combe Castle Heritage Site, find themselves victims of a threatening campaign to oust them from their ancestral home, Jack and Sarah are called in to track down the culprit. But nothing is what it seems at this castle - from the curious and unnerving waxwork displays of the 'Odditorium' to the in-laws and neighbors who can't wait to see the last of aristocratic couple. Soon Jack and Sarah discover that truth is often stranger than fiction, and in Combe Castle things do indeed go bump in the night. (Goodreads)
My Opinion: A quick trip back to Cherringham to check in with Jack and Sarah always seems to hit the spot. The 100+ page short stories are just enough for a quiet evening, weekend, or in between other books.
As I continue to say, there should be more of a following for this series. New readers should start at the beginning since the writing team occasionally references a previous investigation that may be unfamiliar and would be confusing as to what is going on if they hadn’t.
