About this product
Product Information
'Never, even in his most optimistic moments, had he visualised a scene of this nature - himself in one arm-chair, a police officer in another, and between them - a mystery.' The Reverend Dodd, vicar of the quiet Cornish village of Boscawen, spends his evenings reading detective stories by the fireside - but heaven forbid that the shadow of any real crime should ever fall across his seaside parish. But the vicar's peace is shattered one stormy night when Julius Tregarthan, a secretive and ill-tempered magistrate, is found at his house in Boscawen with a bullet through his head. The local police inspector is baffled by the complete absence of clues. Suspicion seems to fall on Tregarthan's niece, Ruth - but surely that young woman lacks the motive to shoot her uncle dead in cold blood? Luckily for Inspector Bigswell, the Reverend Dodd is on hand, and ready to put his keen understanding of the criminal mind to the test. This classic mystery novel of the golden age of British crime fiction is set against the vividly described backdrop of a fishing village on Cornwall's Atlantic coast . It is now republished for the first time since the 1930s.Product Identifiers

Easy Read
An enjoyable not too complicated mystery. Friendly collaboration between the police and sleuthing vicar as was possible in the 1930s. May get more of the series when I feel like a gentle mystery.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Easy read.
An easy book to read, but still compelling. Had me hooked from start to finish. It was easy to follow as there weren't that many characters, but enough to keep you guessing.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Not my usual type of detective story
These stories would be very enjoyable to you if you like pedantic detail and 1930s mores. As I am slightly lukewarm on both of those, I do not enjoy them nearly as much as say Hamish Macbeth of Agatha Raisin which are much more cosy in feel. Plots are always interesting though in the final denouemeVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
