Description
On a cycling holiday in idyllic Herefordshire countryside, Nora and her friends make a gruesome discovery - the body of their missing comrade at the bottom of a quarry. But an apparently accidental fall turns out to have been murder - for the man was shot in the head. Fortunately John Christmas, last seen in The Studio Crime (1929), is on hand with his redoubtable forensic associate, Sydenham Rampson. Between them they shed light on an intricate pattern of crimes... and uncover a most show more formidable foe. show lessTags

If you're a fan of the quaint charm of the quintessential English read then this will be right up your street. This is a very good example of it's genre and well worth the trouble of digging it up!
