When Margaret Parsons disappears, Inspector Burden tries to reassure her frantic husband that she will be back by morning. Privately, though, he is certain Margaret has run off with another man. But then the missing woman's body is found, strangled and abandoned in a nearby wood. And when Mr. Parsons lets the police into his home, a startling discovery leads everyone to question just who Margaret Parsons really was . . .


A great crime story, typically english if I may say so. My thoughts on the book are to be found here.

This is reserved for dogsapples as a trade for "S is for Silence", and as soon as I find it in one of the boxes in the garage it will be on its way to Bristol.
