Crime Dinner in Bad Wörishofen

Part VIII of the Ashtonbury Chronic in the Sonnenhof

Since the brilliant win on Satan at Royal Ascot 1965, the racehorse of her deceased rich uncle, Adrian Tilling, Cora Tilling has gained a certain degree of notoriety which has led to her being on innumerable title pages and gossip pages of various newspapers throughout the whole country.

However life as a celebrity has also its shady side. For example, for some time now she feels not only that she is not only admired but that she is being observed. This is also even more so, that on her 30th birthday she will accept the inheritance from her rich uncle and thus once again be a person of public interest.

Nevertheless, to Cora’s discomfort, her stepmother, Lady Emily Ashtonbury, insists on organizing a pretentious family celebration. And her premonitions seem to be confirmed in a gruesome manner. All of her intimate family members are obviously hindered from participating in this particular celebration by mysterious circumstances and accidents and something appears to be not quite right with Cora herself. And then, a murder occurs.

What secret does the still unopened testament contain? Will the inheritance of her uncle act like a curse on Cora and that she, like other relatives before her, will be placed in one of the feared closed institutions? Who can Cora trust? And can she even trust herself?

Be present in person at the eighth part of our Ashtonbury saga at Darkwood Castle when - in spite of all the legacy hunters, murderers and relatives – it is the case of “Welcome to the Ashtonburys”!
