The Housekeeper

Wicky heads to a stately home to clean up after the sad demise of an estate agent. He’s expecting to get a taste of how the other half live. What he finds is a strange time-warped Downton nightmare, a crumbling old pile ruled by a despotic housekeeper, Mrs Barton, who keeps armies of cooks, maids and groundsmen in line with nothing more than a crisply disapproving stare.

Will Wicky get the job done before the return of the fearsome Lady Rice-Burrows, or will he get the boot through the tradesman’s entrance? Either way, Wicky slowly discovers there is a little bit more to the estate agent’s death than meets the eye.
