"What riddles like behind the doors of the normally sedate Ramsden Literary and Scientific Society that could have led to the death of a pretty young librarian?

"Superintendent Pollard and Inspector Toye dig up the long-buried pasts of Ramsden's leading families, and untangle the murky relationships of a secluded town and its tight-lipped citizenry. Elizabeth Lemarchand is in top form with this brooding tale of greed and jealousy in the sleepy English countryside."

Elizabeth Lemarchand is one of my favorite British mystery authors -- I have several of her books and am always delighted to discover one I've not read before. So I was a bit disappointed to realize that I didn't particularly care for this one. The plot seemed convoluted, difficult to follow, and the technique of the police seemed esoteric. Still, English mysteries are wonderful things, and I'd read this book again given the choice between it and any vampire, zombie or anime book any day!
