When Widow Clemmens is struck down in her parlor while the town's legal professionals chat outside the courthouse down the street, such a thorough investigation is made that two equally plausible suspects are quickly unearthed. But is either guilty? And why does the mysterious Miss Imogene Dare arrive so quickly on the scene? A classic Green mystery, in the dense Victorian prose she used her entire career. Notable particularly for the extended courtroom scenes in the second half of the book, and for the near absence of her famous Mr. Gryce. This is an Ebenezer Gryce book, but the famous detective appears by name only in the final chapters, arriving in time to unravel the mess created by his junior partners. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
