Description

Dear Jack, I think I'm about to be arrested and charged with murder. Tom Morris, busy cataloguing the library of Plumwood Hall, is in a fix. Three days before, a member of the family had keeled over at afternoon tea after eating a slice of fruit cake laced with poison. And Tom has been fingered by the weasel-like Inspector Hyde as chief suspect. The young scholar turns to the only person who can help: his old Oxford tutor, C. S. ('Jack') Lewis. As they investigate, mystery piles on mystery. Why did the victim's husband disappear twelve months before? Why is a strange tattooed foreigner living in a cottage on the moors? Who is the wild man of the woods? And most puzzling of all: how did a massive dose of cyanide get into just one slice of cake? C. S. Lewis's second mind-twisting case has all the hallmarks of a classic Country House Mystery.

Featuring the fictional character Clive Staples (aka 'Jack') Lewis as an amateur detective, presented with a mysterious crime.

Reviews
Richards is a master at creating a 1930s background - long may his series continue. * Church Times *
Follows the well-received C. S. Lewis and the Corpse in the Cellar: A tale that twists and turns in the tradition of the golden age of English murder mysteries like Agatha Christie. Add [the author's] trademark humour and it's an entertaining baffler! * goodreads *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
