Flora and Jack have just got married and a dead body is found in the village and Flora, wedding or not can’t let it go.
The dead man has not much history to go on, but closer investigation unravels a past going back several decades, and another death which was passed as nothing unusual and a number of innocuous characters and events, nothing unusual but all linked.
Jack has just started working at Cleve College and nothing prepares him for the animosity and hatred of its caretaker Miller and the repeated attempts to hurt and eventually kill Jack.
To link the murdered men with Miller who also gets murdered and finding a suspect is a complicated one, but it does get sorted out.
Very Agatha Christie in style and especially the 1958 setting, makes for a nostalgic read.
