In 'Death on Tiptoe' originally published in 1931, the classic ingredients of the traditional country house-party whodunnit are transformed into a deliciously different Gothic murder mystery with literary allusions galore. Against the backdrop of the crumbling Cleys Castle on the Welsh Border Marches, lowering with centuries of dark brooding menace, the house-party guests dress up in ancient Tudor costumes for a spooky game of hide-and-seek - in the dark. It should come as no surprise when this leads to trouble. Gradually the veneer of upper-class well-mannered sophistication disintegrates, exposing dark secrets, greed and ruthless ambition. Keep the lights on.
