Written in 1956, it has all the elements of a classic British mystery. A village ( Ferncross),an eccentric amateur sleuth, upper middle class villagers and a mysterious derelict manor house where death happens rather to often whenever a light appears in one of the rooms.
This village definitely has some murky secrets....I must say that the end was somewhat of a suprise ( but a good one! )
Especially recommended for fans of British murder mysteries.
