This is the only Insp. Lamb book I have read. It's okay, but not particularly engaging or memorable. I like Miss Silver better.

But now she's about to be turned out of her homeâ??by her own nephew. She was at his christening, for mercy's sake! Greed is what drives Ross Craddock, who inherited the once-magnificent family home built ninety years earlier and has since divided it into flats rented by quarreling, passionate tenants. But none is more wicked than Ross himself, his handsome visage concealing an evil heart. He gets his comeuppance when he's found sprawled on the hearthrug in a pool of bloodâ??shot to death with his own revolver. Who had a motive to kill him? Who didn't? Is the murderer Peter Renshaw, a soldier with His Majesty's Army, who may have been protecting pretty young Mavis Grey from Ross's unwanted advances? Bobby Foster, Mavis's jealous suitor? Or Lucy's niece, Lee Fenton, who walks in her sleep? Then there's Miss Lucy herself. They're all concealing secrets. But one is worth killing for, as Inspector Ernest Lamb and Detective Frank Abbott of Scotland Yard discover in this classic British puzzler that will keep readers guessing until the shocking denouement.

Premise/plot: This one is the first in the Ernest Lamb mystery series by Patricia Wentworth. It was my first time--to my recollection--reading Patricia Wentworth. This one is, in many ways, your typical classic British mystery. It involves a murder....and a dysfunctional [extended] family is at the center of the drama. Though not every suspect is a [distant or near] relation.
My thoughts: I enjoyed this one. I would probably have enjoyed it a LOT more if the library due date had not made me rush through the last hundred pages. There's nothing quite like the feeling of having to race through a book because it is due at the library. I enjoyed it enough that I would reread it again at some point and possibly continue on in the series. (
