When a man is found shot dead outside a quaint English cottage, the seemingly peaceful countryside erupts into scandal. The victim was charming, cruel-and deeply hated. Everyone had a motive. But only one pulled the trigger.

Enter Detective W.T. Challoner, a man as brilliant as he is intuitive. As he peels back layers of family secrets, forbidden desires, and long-held grudges, he realizes the truth may be more sinister-and more personal-than anyone imagined.

Set against the brooding backdrop of 1920s England, The White Cottage Mystery blends the suspense of a locked-room puzzle with the psychological depth of classic noir. Margery Allingham's debut whodunit crackles with wit, misdirection, and a final twist that will leave even seasoned mystery lovers reeling.

Dare to unlock the secrets of the white cottage-if you can.
