About This Book

A social gathering at a country house turns deadly when the hostess is discovered murdered in her bedroom. An affable investigator and his capable secretary interview guests and servants, piece together movements, notes, and small contradictions, and map the domestic setting to establish timelines. Their methodical questioning peels back polite facades to reveal jealousies, secret attachments, and disputed interests, while physical clues and alibis narrow suspicion and lead the inquiry toward a solution.
