The Appleby mysteries used to be a favorite of mine and I hadn't read this one before. This book had the literate, somewhat tricky and ridiculous plot that some of the earlier ones had. I liked it but the plot did seem really ridiculous. Also, until this book, I hadn't realized that Appleby had retired from the CID after his marriage because in later books he was back with Scotland yard. A baronet killed in his study at midnight by a blow to the back of the head. What could be more commonplace in detective fiction? And yet it tests Appleby's problem-solving abilities to the limit. A very enjoyable yarn, with lots of sly references to the Comedy of Errors and other stories so that you don't even blink at a farmer's wife called Mrs. Marple whose poultry has been pilfered. Appleby has left Scotland Yard following his marriage but still gets talked into helping the local police inspector when murder strikes the Dromio family. While this plot is convoluted in typical Innes fashion, this 11th entry in the series is more of a straight-forward police procedural than several of the previous books. Despite that, or perhaps because of it, I found this one of the more entertaining books so far. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
A gruelling night of shrouded motives and confused identities develops when the last of the Dromios is found murdered, with both of his hands burnt off. He was one of triplets, whose brothers had died in a fire forty years previously. Inspector Appleby wrenches the facts from a melodrama in which the final solution is written in fire.
