- Synopsis
- The following quote is taken from the back cover of the novel: "Writer Sheila Malory, seen before in Mrs. Malory Investigates and other mysteries, visits the annual Taviscombe Festival, which has been appropriated and aggrandized by Adrian Palgrave, a poet and biographer of little renown. Palgrave, who has been named literary executor for writer and man-of-the-world Lawrence Meredith, a leading literary figure of the 1920s and 30s, is found beaten to death during the first performance of the festival, and suspects are all around. TV documentary-maker Oliver Stevens fears disclosure of an affair. Young Robin Turner, treasurer of the festival, had been criticized frequently by the dead poet. Two other deaths and an attempt to destroy the Meredith papers lead Sheila to search for long-held secrets that bred fatal consequences." Through her charm and friendliness, Sheila invites her readers into the quaint English society of the fictional town of Taviscombe. Here readers watch Sheila fraternize with familiar people that the readers have met in Holt's other novels. Readers also meet new characters and are welcomed into Sheila's world of animals, delicious food and coffee and tea intermingled with the violence that Sheila uncovers and resolves.
