  • ""A delicious and classic country-house mystery. Well, country-castle. The lord of the manor is Sir Henry Ancred, a celebrated Shakespearian actor (and pompous bore), who has arranged to have his portrait painted by none other than Agatha Troy, wife of Inspector Roderick Alleyn. She's rather glad to be stepping out of Alleyn's shadow, so much so that when Ancred is killed at his own birthday party, Troy at first tries sleuthing on her own. But she's got a family full of suspects to contend with, and is pleased at last to hand things over to Alleyn, who had been, as one review put it, 'detained by World War II'".--back cover."

  • "Le rideau noir s'ouvre : au sommet d'une colline se dresse le manoir Ancreton, "épouvantail" seigneurial, orné d'excroissances romanes, gothiques, baroques et rococo. C'est dans ce décor que va se jouer le drame : au lendemain de sa grande soirée d'anniversaire, sir Henry, le maître des lieux, est retrouvé mort dans son lit."
