Mellohi
1) The uneasy sense that everything isn't right
2) a feeling of sorrow, despair, or unhappiness mixed with anger
_____________________________________
A chilling story of deceit, suspicion and murder. A Murder Case of those told in fiction, of a trench coat detective and sly, cold hearted killer.
Mellohi Manor sat quietly in the countryside of Gloucestershire, England. It was a beautiful estate with lush gardens and a grand manor that housed multiple generations of the West family. However the manor would soon become a tomb to the family and their guests, starting from a wedding gone wrong, the inhabitants would soon be picked off as a detective worked intensely to halt the master mind of this slaughter.
Of millionaires and servants. Of law and crime. Of detectives and murders. Of guns and blades. This tragic tale would unfurl.
