Book Description
In this full-length Inspector McLean mystery Mr. Goodchild displays his inventiveness to the full. A millionaire dies soon after he has partaken of an evening meal, but the post-mortem fails at first to discover the cause of death. When finally a verdict of murder is returned McLean finds himself confronted with a case of quite unusual complexity.
One by one the suspects are eliminated until McLean is left with almost a blank sheet. He is in despair when he hits upon a small clue which causes him to follow a new line of investigation, and little by little a picture of the guilty person is built up. This is a well constructed story with a totally unexpected denouement, which holds the attention of the reader until the last page.
