Summary
Two friends, one a specialist in archaeology, the other an artist, were spending a day or two in the interesting old town of Bingly. One in investigation of the old church, the other in sketching it. A telegram announcing the death of James Briggs, the artist’s brother, put an end to the holiday, sending Joshua Briggs post-haste to his sister-in-law’s house.
But was it accidental death? Or suicide? Or was there not some foul play somewhere?
Joshua sent for his friend. Ray started an investigation of a different kind from unearthing the secrets of old buildings. Patiently, he collected information and evidence, collated and arranged it until he had made out a case and “proved” each possible suspect guilty. Yet, when he finally revealed the criminal’s scheme, he could not but admire its cleverness.

Short, a bit dated but good fun
This was written in the 1930s so I was surprised when I only winced at the use of one word but it is a thing of its time nevertheless. There’s about three hours of exposition but it’s genuinely good fun and I definitely hadn’t guessed the ending. There’s quite a lengthy intro BTW which made me think I had the wrong book to start with but if you aren’t doing this book at A level, you could jump straight to the story.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
