Every family has secrets, however the Features' are switching deadly… On the dark night, along a lonely country road, lawyer Joe Amberley finds a sports vehicle with a corpse driving and ceases to simply help a woman in distress. The lady protests her innocence, and Amberley thinks her—at least till he gets pulled in to the mystery and the hints incriminating Shirley Brown start to include up… Within an English country-house murder mystery with a twist, it's the servant who's the target, every idea reduces the problem, and the bumbling authorities are well-meaning but totally perplexed. Luckily, in ferreting out a determined monster, amateur sleuth Amberley is really as amazing as he's pompous, but this time around heis unsure he really wants to understand the truth… COMPLIMENT FOR WHY SHOOT A BUTLER?
