What happened at Meilahti Manor in the summer of 1924?
In 1924, Reidar from Turku arrives at his fiancée’s manor in preparation to their wedding that same summer. The bride’s mother wants to test the couple’s decision to marry and hires a charmingly beautiful horse trainer as a “fly trap” for the manor.
After a string of unsuccessful dates, Raakel Oksa gets a job renovating the sauna at the Meilahti Manor and finds a rusty horseshoe. At the same time, Ellen Lähde learns about the history of the estates and their tragic stories from the Martha Organization. Ellen and Raakel begin to investigate whether there is some other unsolved mystery connected to the fate of the estate’s summer groom.
The beloved light-hearted detective series continues! Carpenter Raakel Oksa solves crime mysteries together with Ellen, familiar from the Ellen Lähde Investigates series.
