Marooned overnight by a snowstorm in a grand country house are a cast of characters and a setting that even Agatha Christie might recognize – a vicar, an Army major, a Dowager, a sleuth and his sidekick - except that the sleuth is Jackson Brodie, and the ‘sidekick’ is DC Reggie Chase.\n\n\nThe crumbling house - Burton Makepeace and its chatelaine the Dowager Lady Milton - suffered the loss of their last remaining painting of any value, a Turner, some years ago. The housekeeper, Sophie, who disappeared the same night, is suspected of stealing it.\n\n\nJackson, a reluctant hostage to the snowstorm, has been investigating the theft of another The Woman with a Weasel, a portrait, taken from the house of an elderly widow, on the morning she died. The suspect this time is the widow’s carer, Melanie. Is this a coincidence or is there a connection? And what secrets does The Woman with a Weasel hold? The puzzle is Jackson’s to solve. And let’s not forget that a convicted murderer is on the run on the moors around Burton Makepeace.\n\n\nAll the while, in a bid to make money, Burton Makepeace is determined to keep hosting a shambolic Murder Mystery that acts as a backdrop while the real drama is being played out in the house.\n\n\nA brilliantly plotted, supremely entertaining, and utterly compulsive tour de force from a great writer at the height of her powers.\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atkinson, Kate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43604991377485,"sku":"CONF20260828004","price":189.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/3856\/4685\/files\/9780857526588_20260816_120026.jpg?v=1787931047","url":"https:\/\/readmatter.co.za\/products\/buy-death-at-the-sign-of-the-rook-kate-atkinson-9780857526588","provider":"Readmatter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
