This classic country house mystery, first published in 1933, contrasts the splendours and frivolities of the English upper classes with the sombre overhang of the First World War and the irresistible complications of deadly familial relationships - with just the right amount of international intrigue thrown in.
This edition also includes the rare Anthony Gilbert short stories "Horseshoes for Luck" and "The Cockroach and the Tortoise" and an introduction by Martin Edwards.
