Dead Man's Eleven

 

 

The very unpopular man Robert Cavendish owns the manor house in the village and has a young wife. He also has a son, Stephen who is both married to Jane and has a relationship with a barmaid from The Queen's Head Pub.

One evening, Robert and Tara announces that they will move to Orlando, so Stephen and Jane must find a new house, because their house is part of the manor. They all start arguing around the table, while a young man is spying on them.

The following morning Tara takes a walk with the dog, as usually. But she gets lost and someone beats her to death with a cricket bat.

Does this death have anything to do with the death of Matthew Draper who was caught in an explosion several years ago? Someone thinks it was Robert Cavendish's fault.
