    Summary

    Retired Cpt. John "Soap" MacTavish is the winner of an exclusive invitation to dinner and a murder mystery at a supposedly haunted English estate. He's in for a lot more than he bargained for.

    --

       “Your fellow guests await,” the caretaker said, pausing to straighten the lapels of his suit.  “If you’ll join us.”

         “Aye, Ah’ll do my best to get along.” John flicked a glance up and down the caretaker, letting himself appreciate the view.  He lingered a half-beat longer on those golden eyes.  “And yerself, Mister?”

         “Riley.  Simon Riley.”  The caretaker’s gaze held steady, like he could see clean through to the bone.  “Caretaker of the estate.”

         “Ah, grand.  Now it’s a proper show, innit?” he couldn’t resist.  “How’re ye fixed for candlesticks, Simon?  Or do we do dinner first, aye, and get stabbed after?”

         There was a pause, a ripple of something that might’ve been laughter behind the mask.  “We take our cues from the classics, Mr. MacTavish.  But tonight’s menu is bespoke.”
