- Synopsis
- The head of Scotland Yard probes the suspicious death of a Shakespearean scholar with a collection of secrets in this classic British mystery. Lewis Packford, an Elizabethan scholar, is found shot in his library. It was rumored Packford recently acquired a book annotated by the Bard, but the book is nowhere to be seen. What is beside him, however, is a note that—as Packford was wont to do—quotes William Shakespeare: &“Farewell, a long farewell.&” Police believe Packford died from suicide, but Sir John Appleby, head of Scotland Yard and Packford&’s friend, disagrees. When Appleby arrives at the scholar&’s country house in Dorset, he meets an array of academics and bibliophiles who were all present the night of the murder. Suspects include Packford&’s brother, who stands to inherit the house, and Packford&’s two secret wives, who recently learned of each other&’s existence. As the secrets pile up, the erudite Appleby must get to the bottom of things before the killer forces anyone else to say goodbye for good.&“A model of the deft, classic detective story, told in the most wittily diverting prose.&” —The New York Times
