To visit distant foggy Albion, enjoy the beauties of Devonshire and Yorkshire, stay in a real haunted castle and help your beloved daughter with pleasant pre-wedding chores - the Polzunov couple dreamed about this on their way to the UK. But the newly-made bride Veronica, who was going to marry a descendant of real English lords, suddenly found herself behind bars - and this was almost a week before the wedding. Veronica was found over the corpse of the failed mother-in-law, the Marchioness of Huntley, and under the girl’s feet lay the murder weapon - an ordinary garden chopper. How could even before the wedding so annoy the future relative? But Veronica should not worry - her parents can compete with Agatha Christie herself in investigating crimes, and sooner or later this purely English murder will falter under the onslaught of purely Russian ingenuity and ingenuity.
