About The Gathering of Clan McFee: Heathcliff Lennox: A 1920s Murder Mystery (Unabridged)

***FINALIST - KINDLE STORYTELLER AWARD 2025*** Murder, mystery and a dog of distinction. Heathcliff Lennox investigates. Book 14 in the Heathcliff Lennox series Spring 1924. Scotland. The ancient halls of Clan McFee’s castle echo with the whispers of history—and now, the stirrings of ambition and rivalry. The old Laird has passed away, leaving no will, no children, and no clear heir. The task of naming a successor falls to Lady Peggie, the widow of the reclusive Laird. Summoned to the castle are eight distant cousins of the McFee family, hailing from England, Canada, America, and Sweden. As the castle fills with strangers bound by blood but divided by self-interest, tensions rise despite the efforts of Lady Peggie and Sir Richard Fitzroy, the Laird’s unflappable lawyer, to maintain order. But then the fragile peace is shattered by a murder in the night—a body found at the foot of the grand stone staircase, and the stakes grow even deadlier. Sir Richard calls DCI Billings of Scotland Yard, who calls Major Heathcliff Lennox and ex Inspector Jonathan Swift, and orders them to go and find out what the devil is going on. Major Heathcliff Lennox - ex WW1 war pilot, 6feet 3inch, tousled dark blond hair, age around 30 – named after the hero of Wuthering Heights by his romantically minded mother – much to his great annoyance.
