A whodunit set in the 1920s at Sissingham Hall. Charles Knox returns to England and is invited to the Hall of Sir Neville Strickland and his wife Rosamund the ex-fiancee of Charles. When Sir Neville is found dead. Told from the point of view of Knox it is left to Mrs Marchmont to solve the murder. I enjoyed the story again though I did remember who was the guilty party. This is a breezy, unchallenging 1920s style murder mystery. Country house? Check. Murder? Check. Lots of suspects? Check. Amateur sleuth solves what the police cannot? Check. The 'sleuth' is Angela Marchmont, and this is the first in a series, but oddly it's narrated by Charles Knox, so she remains a bit of a side character until the end. It's fairly obvious (ok, blindingly obvious) whodunit from an early point, but it's a harmless, diverting murder mystery that should entertain a willing reader. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

On his return from South Africa, Charles Knox is invited to spend the weekend at the country home of Sir Neville Strickland, whose beautiful wife Rosamund was once Knox's fiancée. But in the dead of night Sir Neville is murdered. Who did it? As suspicion falls on each of the house guests in turn, Knox finds himself faced with deception and betrayal on all sides, and only the enigmatic Angela Marchmont seems to offer a solution to the mystery. This 1920s whodunit will delight all fans of traditional country house murder stories. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Not surprised I didn't fully appreciate it; I'm very distracted these days.
