Summary
Althea Graham's hypochondriac mother seldom visits the gazebo - yet she is found dead in it one morning. The Graham estate had once enjoyed a rural view, but now the grounds are part of suburban London and the gazebo is an anachronistic summerhouse. Scotland Yard becomes suspicious of Althea and her fiancé, the dashing foreign correspondent Nicholas Carey, because the death of her mother frees them to be married at last. Miss Silver is fortunately a friend of Althea's and comes to the rescue, complete with knitting needles, a gentle smile, and the perception of a mind reader.

Elegant Classic
I love the way the story unfolded, whilst creating feelings for and against some characters!

A great 'sign of the times' novel
Patricia Wentworth has been a favourite of mine for many years. Her writing is flawless, and very descriptive. The characters are believable, and there is a role for each of them. Many nods to 1950's life. Brilliantly narrated by Diane Bishop.

Ridiculous premise!
This started off quite well, but the criminals’ motive was ridiculous. I was also annoyed by the inaccuracies around dates, which was linked to the ludicrous plot. It was literally impossible for Mr Martin’s great grandmother to have remembered the Gordon Riots (1780), and to have told his father about them, presumably in the early 20th century. The timescales involved were just too long! I couldn’t get past this lazy writing.
