Lambert and Hook #2
For Sale with Corpse
J M Gregson
Lyndon Hall is a house full of character, as the estate agent's literature claims. But its many interesting features should surely not include a corpse in the elegant drawing-room? Is this death the suicide it appears to be? The investigation centres upon a tight-knit village community. Both the glamorous French widow of the deceased and the man who lives rough on the moor after a mental breakdown seem to know more about this death than is at first apparent. Moreover, it gradually emerges that the staff of the estate agency he owned all had their different reasons for disliking the dead man. Superintendent John Lambert and Sergeant Bert Hook bring to the unravelling of the mystery their customary combination of insight, humanity and humour.
