Any Shape or Form

Gamadge is visiting his cousin Miss Abigail Ryder at her country home. They are invited to the estate of Johnny Redfields, along with nearby neighbours Walter and Blanch Drummonds, Redfield’s aunt Josephine Malcom and her step-children David and Cora Malcom. Johnny is hoping to create a peace-treaty between Josephine and David and Cara, but it isn’t working. An added fly in the ointment is Josephine has recently joined a cult that worships the sun!

While Gamadge and Josephine are standing outside talking, a shot rings out. Someone with excellent air has just shot Josephine in the head!

The police are notified by Gamadge is also called upon by the guests and the police to help solve this murder. Untangling the spiders’ nest of dead show more bodies (yes, there is more than one), the relationships between the guests, surprise arrivals and disappearances, blackmail, inheritances and family history is no simple feat.

This is definitely a quick and simple read, but it is a good one! show less

Above average entry in the Gamadge series, though once again Henry didn't make use of his specialized skills - I hope that aspect of the series (his knowledge & skill with documents & antiquarian books) isn't phased out.
