About this Item

Vintage Penguin First Edition. #1641. Old Hall, New Hall is one of Michael Innesā s sly, lightly fantastical mysteries, built around the peculiar history of the Chittering family and the two ancestral houses that mirror their tangled past. When a young scholar is invited to investigate the family papers, he finds himself drawn into a puzzle involving disputed inheritances, eccentric relatives and a long-buried scandal that refuses to stay hidden. As odd events accumulate and loyalties shift, Innes blends academic wit, country-house intrigue and a touch of the surreal into a mystery where the architecture of the past proves as deceptive as the people who inhabit it, and in its Penguin edition the novel offers a brisk, playful and character-rich detective tale.
