Synopsis

A brilliant detective...A baffling murder...An isolated manor...A list of less than perfect suspects with perfect alibis...No way out...It's going to be a long and deadly night.

Hired to stop a murder at a birthday party at a Mississippi Manor cut off from the world by The Great Flood of 1927, Detective Rowan Manory needs to solve a 20-year-old case to save his client, Robert Lasciva, from unwrapping a deadly and perhaps deserved gift of revenge.

The suspects are ready to celebrate. Unfortunately, one of them has plotted an audacious murder. Trapped by the flood, Manory must unmask the killer in the crowd before the bodies start dropping.

Goodnight Irene is a locked-room murder mystery that will have you guessing until the final reveal.
