A young couple are asked to witness the will of an unpleasant old woman who later turns up dead. Arthur Crook reverses his opinion in the case --personally, I don't usually like mysteries in which the detective does that.

Anthony Gilbert, the pseudonym of Lucy Beatrice Malleson (1899-1973), is remembered for the creation of Arthur Crook, who unlike aristocratic sleuths like Lord Peter Wimsey and Albert Campion is earthy and occasionally (as editor John Cooper says) "outrageously cheeky," with a sensitivity for the down-and-outers who are caught up in crime. show more Beginning in 1936, Gilbert wrote more than 50 novels featuring Arthur Crook, a London lawyer who spends as much time in pubs as in his office, and who goes to outlandish, and not always legal, lengths to clear his clients. Sequel to Murder: The Cases of Arthur Crook and Other Mysteries includes all the Arthur Crook short cases, as well as a selection of Gilbert's other mystery stories. show less
