The Mill House Murders is about a masked man who, after a tragic accident, lives in a secluded house with his wife, the butler, and the housekeeper. Once a year, four other people are allowed to enter the house- an art dealer, a professor, a director of a hospital, and a priest at the masked man's family temple. In 1985, one man is murdered, another disappears, and a priceless painting is stolen. The police close the case, but it doesn’t add up. The next year, a detective arrives to figure out what really happened before anyone else dies.
The Mill House Murders was boring for the first 150 pages for me, but it really picked up in the last half, I was reading before bed and couldn’t put it down, it became much more intriguing as it went on!. It had many twists, but I found some a bit predictable. However, it is a classic locked-room mystery and I think anyone who likes mystery books or thrillers should read it.
