About this ebook
A country house party, a shot in the night, and a woman found dead with a locked door and no weapon. Rees was Australian-born, came to England, and wrote through the golden age of the form — several books with a collaborator and this one alone, with a plot built to be solved in the wrong order. This edition is bound with a gallery of 53 plates of paintings, among them works by Henry Woods, Eduardo Cano and Andrew Carrick Gow.
