A Death At Greyfell

De: John Decherd

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Greyfell Hall is a place built to endure.

Its glasshouses gleam against the sea air, its corridors hold their silence, and its reputation for discretion is as carefully maintained as its gardens. When a man is found dead inside one of its sealed structures, the death is dismissed as unfortunate, contained, and best left undisturbed.

Lucien Duval is summoned because he does not leave things undisturbed.

Arriving from London, Duval senses at once that Greyfell is not merely concealing a crime—it is shaping the story around it. The evidence is precise, the explanations too polished, and every answer seems designed to close a door rather than open one. As Duval questions the household, he discovers that the house itself—its systems, its routines, its control of air and access—may be the most reliable accomplice of all.

What begins as a single death unfolds into something older, colder, and far more deliberate. Greyfell’s past presses against its present, and the closer Duval comes to understanding it, the more the estate resists him—through silence, misdirection, and fire.

A Death at Greyfell is a richly atmospheric historical mystery set in post–World War I England, where class protects secrets and truth is treated as a dangerous intruder. Elegant, tense, and quietly unsettling, this second novel in The Lucien Duval Series asks how far a powerful place will go to preserve its version of events—and what happens when someone refuses to accept it.
