About this book
Elderly Cressida Smythe is cruelly murdered. The beneficiaries of her seven million pounds estate are, one by one, killed off in bizarre ways. But are these deaths accidental or deliberate?
Cressida's closest relation, public school educated Reginald Grosvenor Smythe, OBE, recently returned to the UK after a 40-year stint in the colonies. A wonderfully eccentric Englishman with a droll sense of humour, he adds piquancy and laugh-aloud moments throughout the many twists and turns of this not put-down-able book.
With invaluable help from lady friend, Sylvia, and ex school chum, Miles, Reggie takes it upon himself to find the killer - or is it killers? Their involvement is much to the annoyance of the investigating police officer, Detective Inspector Farthing.
Can these amateur sleuths find the murderer before it is too late?
