Title of a murder mystery set in England?

All, I am hoping someone will recognise this
synopsis of a book and tell me the name of
it. My mother in law started to read it once
but didn't finish. She is keen to track it
down and read it.

Ok, it is a mystery set in England. It starts
with a man being found who has amnesia, and
the only thing he keeps saying is that "I am
a murderer", or words with a similar
sentiment. He doesn't give any other
information, or respond to an treatment. He
is let go, and the police follow him as he
makes his way to a country house. They
discover at least one body on the outskirts
of the house.

And that's as far as my MIL made it into the
book! She can't remember the name of the
author, only that the cover of the book was
white. So I would appreciate any help from
anyone to identify this book!

Thanks in advance,

Sean
 
It wasn't a library book, and it was about 12 months ago that she started reading. It was apparently a book I had, but I have never read it. I am a bit of a second hand book buying demon at times, and I think it is one I grabbed and then traded without even opening. She was over babysitting for my wife and I and grabbed it off one of our shelves.

The bad thing is that she asked my wife to put it aside for her at the time but she didn't. I only found out about all this recently, otherwise I might have known it myself at the time.

And it was set in current times I believe, not a historical fiction.
 
Boy, I hope you figure out what book it is, I want to read it! :D

How modern? 50 years ago modern, or this century?
 
It is set current dayish, so end of the 20th/start of the 21st century. Within the last 10-15 years kind of timeframe. And I agree about wanting to read the book, lol. If I can ever find out what it is!
