His cousin, Fay, writes and asks Deene to come visit her and investigate “a slightly unpleasant thing” that has happened there. The “unpleasant thing” is the murder of Lilliane Bomberger, well-known, celebrated and detested novelist. The body was found on the beach, but only the head was visible. During the investigation, Deene starts to lose interest until two more bodies appear. Is there a connection between the deaths? Deene works to pry information from the people who surrounded Bomberger. They don’t wish to “speak ill of the dead” but rare if any is the one who didn’t detest and fear her. This is a full British mystery with a thinking detective, assortment of characters, some humour, red herrings and dead ends. Along the lines of the writers of the “Golden Age” of mysteries, Christie, Sayers . näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Walking on the sand before breakfast, Carolus Deene's cousin Fay, who was staying on the Suffolk coast, had come upon the head of Lilliane Bomberger, the celebrated and universally detested novelist. The body was buried in the sand with only the head protruding; at least one tide had washed over it. Before this frustrating case ends, three murders are committed. This is vintage Bruce, mixing thrills and chills with unique humor. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

This is a classic detective story with plenty of motivated suspects and a final explanation in front of the police and other interested parties. It was first published in I959. I recommend it. ( )
