Whatever's Been Going on at Mumblesby? Paperback / softback
by Colin Watson
Part of the A Flaxborough Mystery series
Paperback / softback
Description
In Flaxborough’s posh neighbouring village, Mumblesbury, the local solicitor, Richard Daspard Loughbury, has suddenly died.
Natural causes it appears, but DI Purbright and the ever-helpful Miss Lucy Teatime are taken aback by the quality of Loughbury’s art collection – including a Paul Klee, a Corot, and even a fragment of the “True Cross”. All seem to have been acquired locally and the question of blackmail hangs in the air.
Loughbury’s decidedly un-posh widow, Zoe, is less than grief-stricken, as are a cast of colourful characters from randy farmers to gin-soaked county types.
Then, the recent suicide of a local farmer’s wife also begins to look questionable. Witty and a little wicked, this final tale in Colin Watson’s Flaxborough series offers a mordantly entertaining cast of characters and laugh-out-loud wordplay.
