The Herring in the Library, Paperback / softback Book

The Herring in the Library Paperback / softback

Part of the The Herring Mysteries series

Paperback / softback

Description

When literary agent Elsie Thirkettle is invited to accompany tall but obscure crime-writer Ethelred Tressider to dinner at Muntham Court, she is looking forward to sneering at his posh friends.

What she is not expecting is that, half way through the evening, her host will be found strangled in his locked study.

Since there is no way that a murderer could have escaped, the police conclude that Sir Robert Muntham has killed himself.

A distraught Lady Muntham, however, asks Ethelred to conduct his own investigation.

Ethelred (ably hindered by Elsie) sets out to resolve a classic 'locked room' mystery; but is any one of the assorted guests and witnesses actually telling the truth? And can Ethelred's account be trusted?
