- Synopsis
- When Professor Andrew Basnett pays a little holiday visit to an eccentric old relative, he encounters far more excitement than he's bargained for. At 85, Felicity Silvester is still going strong. She's as selfish, domineering, and cantankerous as ever—and at least as rich. But it seems she may not be long for this world. A former housekeeper meets a mysterious and unnatural end, and in the dead woman's purse police find a written confession to Felicity's murder! Hours later, Felicity lies dead: strangled. Meanwhile her young manservant has disappeared, along with her diamonds. Children, grandchildren, and other beneficiaries of her widow's estate are the strongest of suspects. Pooling their wits, the chief inspector and amateur Basnett stack up clues against the real killer.
