Dame Margaret James, one of England's most famous and prolific authors of murder mysteries, has decided to write what will be her 40th (and final) book. Seeking a change of scenery for inspiration, Dame James has her new assistant, Anna, book an extended stay at the secluded Raven's Point Manor bed and breakfast located on the vast grounds of the Radcliffe family estate in New England. Dame James soon meets a menagerie of fellow guests at the manor including a French fashion designer, an Italian jeweller, a German scholar, and an American, farm-owning couple, as well as the boisterous innkeeper and mysterious groundskeeper. One night during dinner, a pair of siblings shows up to the manor in the middle of a storm after their car has broken down, and the guests learn the access road to the estate has been flooded.

A cleverly written, darkly humorous, and delightfully twisted murder mystery in the style of Agatha Christie, A Conspiracy of Ravens will leave you guessing "whodunit?" until the very end.
