Especially the people. Not just the visual aspects, but their personalities as well! As for the murder mystery, there are many twists, misdirections, and flat out red herrings while Supt Nankivell diligently investigates the murders and some other things that turn up. Excellent fun read! I requested and received a free ebook copy from Agora Books via NetGalley. Thank you! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Before there was Littlejohn, there was Nankivell.With his classic wit and trademark style, George Bellairs delivers this standalone mystery sure to keep you guessing.

The infamous Alderman Harbuttle is behaving uncharacteristically playful - laughing with the assembly, singing rhymes, and leading people in a rousing game of Follow-My-Leader throughout the chapel's winding halls.But his jubilee is cut short when the revellers find the Alderman's murdered body in the dark recesses of the chapel, a bread knife buried to the hilt in his chest.Superintendent Nankivell of the local police force takes up the case, and his investigation quickly stirs up sinister secrets lurking within the walls of Zion Chapel. His suspect list soon proves massive, as he learns there are many people who would be happier without the sanctimonious Alderman Harbuttle around...

Not really an entertaining story, I onlyjust made it to the end, and it was made worse by being written in the prestent tense. No where near the best of Bellairs.
