Description

Phillip Bethancourt and Jack Gibbons are both in Yorkshire, Phillip to visit family for the holidays, Jack to find out if a serial killer is at work. A bookshop clerk has been strangled, and Jack has very little to go on in this charming tale written in the tradition of Dorothy L Sayers.

Reviews

"Readers who have somehow missed the first three installments of this series are really in for a treat. ... Chan's literate and charming mysteries are rightfully compared to those of golden age British crime fiction." - Booklist

"An enjoyable outing into Dorothy Sayers territory." - Publishers Weekly

"Chan beefs up the mystery while retaining the Golden Age feel to produce her best work to date." - Kirkus Reviews
