In muffled night

It was not at all a suitable house for a murder. Helen Bailey is the live-in housekeeper to the wealthy Murray family. Tall, dark-haired and beautiful, the enigmatic Helen has long ensured that life at 'The Towers' runs smoothly for autocratic patriarch James Murray, his widowed son John, and his grandchildren Alan and Glenda. When Helen is found dead in her blood-soaked bedroom, struck down in a horrific attack, the police must consider the family's relationships not only with one another but with everyone close to them. Helen's jewellery is missing, suggesting a robbery gone wrong, but the clues are confusing and contradictory. Dogged police work eventually points to one person, but have the authorities identified a cold-blooded murderer or an innocent person framed by others?
