The White Cottage Mystery

More about the book

Seven suspects all have an excellent motive for killing Eric Crowther, the mysterious recluse. He knew their secrets. They lived in fear of him. And they all wanted him dead. Only one person had the courage to pull the trigger. The quest for that one person takes Detective Chief Inspector Challenor and his son Jerry half way across Europe tand into the suspects' past before a surprising discovery is made. Margery Allingham's first detective story was originally published as a newspaper serial. Her sister Joyce skilfully revisited the text, transforming it into a masterpiece of detective fiction untarnished by time.
