A few comments and thoughts about crime books set on the mainland of Europe, with titbits about real eurocrime. We hear so much about crime in the USA that many people imagine that Europe is a crime free zone. In crime fiction Europe has become a real challenger to the Americans, but unfortunately real life crime especially in Britain is increasing as well.

Scotland?
No, but a very good guess.
Eastern Europe?
No sorry another good guess, but the wrong direction.
Ireland?
Is it an eccentric American industrialist's Old World fantasy constructed along the Hudson River?

CFR, you are correct it is Kylemore Abbey in the west of Ireland. I can highly recommend the scenery and the black stuff, but take a raincoat.
Peter, not that far west but I can see your point. There is a little bit of Vanderbilt eccentricity in the architecture. I work as a volunteer at Knightshayes Court an 1870s Gothic castle in the Devon countryside. That was the creation of a very eccentric Victorian William Burges for the Heathcoat Amory family, who were local landowners and industrialists.
