Well narrated story, but it went on a bit.
A Peter Wimsey story. He gets involved in the investigation of murder of an obnoxious artist--absolutely everyone had a reason to kill the artist. As obvious from the title there are a lot of suspects. When Peter finally goes through the murder, you actually have a sense of admiration for the amount of work the murderer went through to cover his tracks. ( )
