Format:Hardcover
Justin Emery, recently returned to England after spending six years in Australia, calls on an old friend, Grace de Long, at her cottage in a country village. Grace is a little late and reveals she has been calling on some friends of hers, Arnold and Hester Thaine, but no-one was home. Later that night Grace calls Justin and asks him to accompany her to the Thaine’s house as Arnold has been murdered. Ferrars weaves a clever mystery around the suspects and their alibi’s, finally Justin realises the truth after another murder is committed and the result is the most unlikely scenario the reader can imagine.
Format:Paperback
I re-read this after many years. Unlike other detective novels, I remebered it quite well.
The characterisation is convincing, particularly Grace Delong. The motives are more convincing than in many books.
The setting, very traditional, suits the story.
All right, a dose of nostalgia, but worht reading.
