Time for a "Plus" book: Touch Not the Cat

Time for a "Plus" book (as in Science Fiction "Plus" Book Club): Touch Not the Cat: The classic suspense novel from the Queen of the Romantic Mystery.

When Bryony Ashley's father dies under mysterious circumstances, his final words are a cryptic warning to her.

Bryony returns from abroad to Ashley Court: the tumbledown ancestral home of the Ashley family, all blessed with 'the gift' of being able to speak to each other without words.

Ashley Court is full of secrets. What did her father's message mean? What lies at the centre of the overgrown maze in the gardens? And who is trying to prevent Bryony from discovering the truth?
