Midnight fell like a shroud over Thornwood Manor, its ancient oaks swaying ominously in a restless wind that whispered softly. Lady Ashworth's lifeless form lay crumpled upon the marble floor, a crimson puddle spreading beneath the trembling chandelier's fractured crystals. Inspector Edmund Drake stepped through the foyer, his keen eyes scanning the muted shadows for clues hidden beneath glossy pretenses. The manor’s mournful silence was broken only by distant footsteps, a clock’s mournful chime, and a faint, desperate scream echoing. Lady Ashworth, heir to the estate, had recently altered her will, threatening the ambitions of her resentful nephew, Sir Reginald. Drake whispered to his constable, noting the shattered glass near the fireplace, and the absence of a silver letter opener.
