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. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

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