About this eBook
When a visiting author is suspected of murder, the case is hardly open and shut in this English village mystery novel by the author of Death in Disguise.
The Midsomer Worthy’s Writers’ Circle has never had much luck in attracting guest speakers. Consequently, there is much surprise when best-selling novelist Max Jennings accepts their invitation. But the members are even more surprised by their secretary, Gerald Hadleigh, who furiously objects to hosting Jennings—and offers no explanation.
Surprise turns into a variety of responses when Hadleigh is found dead the morning after Jennings’ visitation. Chief Inspector Barnaby soon determines that the key to solving the murder will lie with the illustrious Jennings. There’s only one problem: the famous author has disappeared.

A nicely complex mystery full of complex characters. If you've watched the television series, be warned: inspector Barnaby and Sargeant Troy aren't exactly the same characters you know, but after a couple books they start to feel like old acquaintances too. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves a cozy mystery and doesn't need pages and pages of forensic nonsense.
