Book Description
Georgette Heyer's brilliant and highly acclaimed series of detective novels, now in a handsome new package
Product Description
A moonlit night. A sleeping village. And an unaccountable murder...
An English bobbie returning from night patrol finds a corpse in evening dress locked in the stocks on the village green. He identifies the body immediately. Andrew Vereker was not a well-loved man, and narrowing down the suspects is not going to be an easy job. The Vereker family are corrupt and eccentric -and hardly cooperative ...
It's another case for the resourceful Superintendent Hannasyde, who sets off on the trail of a killer so cunning that even his consummate powers of detection are tested to their limits...

Arnold Vereker has a weekend cottage near the village, which he often visits with lady friends, but the young lady in residence this weekend turns out to be his step-sister, Antonia. She has some explaining to do when the police arrive to find her drying her bloodstained skirt. Fortunately, her cousin, Giles, is a solicitor, and can be relied upon to come to her rescue - and, as this is a Georgette Heyer novel, you won't be surprised to find that there's a hint of romance going on.
In the meantime, who killed Arnold? Could it have been Antonia, or her brother, Kenneth? Their faithful maid? At least it couldn't have been Arnold's brother, Roger, because he was dead - wasn't he?
Georgette Heyer does manage to make her characters witty and endearing, and you will enjoy the romp through this novel. I didn't guess "whodunnit" - maybe you'll have better luck!
great suspense as when the killer is revealed is a surprise but slightly hinted at during the book.
Not so much a murder mystery, as a transcription of a group of one-dimensional people... Read more
