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.
ย
The Midsomer Worthyโs Writersโ 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 Jenningsโand offers no explanation.
ย
Surprise turns into a variety of responses when Hadleigh is found dead the morning after Jenningsโ visitation. Chief Inspector Barnaby soon determines that the key to solving the murder will lie with the illustrious Jennings. Thereโs only one problem: the famous author has disappeared.
