A chilling day of murder in the midst of post-World War II austerity

Classic crime from one of the greats of the Detection Club

In the spring of 1946, the redoubtable Lady Bate arrives at The Downs, built by the eccentric Colonel Anstruther years before. The aftermath of war has forced the colonel's daughter to take in paying guests, but only Lady Bate knows the secret of Mrs Anstruther's past life and the mystery behind her hermit-like existence.

When Lady Bate is found dead, a chance remark puts detective Arthur Crook on the right track, which he follows - at risk to his life.

Unquestionably a most intelligent author. Gifts of ingenuity, style and character drawing - SUNDAY TIMES

Made me feel apprehensive and very-very aware that I was reading it while all alone in the house and made me very conscious of the creaks and other noises. And the humour is delicious - Inkquilletc.blogspot

No author is more skilled at making a good story seem brilliant - SUNDAY EXPRESS

Fast, light, likeable - NEW YORK TIMES

Well-plotted, fast-moving - brilliant
