Summary
A woman’s dismembered corpse is discovered in a quarry, and police quickly link the victim back to their chief suspect: her husband, Doctor Ibraham Aziz. His wife had been planning to leave him, so his guilt isn’t in doubt as far as local law enforcement is concerned. Barrister Arthur Skelton is asked to represent the accused, and though all believe the case to be hopeless, Skelton suspects there may be more to the victim’s death. Aided by his loyal clerk, Edgar, and his roaming cousins, Alan and Norah, Skelton soon finds himself embroiled in an investigation not only concerning this world but the one beyond. Can he convince a jury of Aziz’s innocence before the judge dons his black cap?

More Please !
Barrister Arthur Skelton, his wonderful feisty wife, two realistic children and endearingly old-maidish clerk, Edgar welcomed me into their 1920s lives in the first of David Stafford's books 'Skelton's Guide to Domestic Poisons'. I loved every minute of the author's reading of that book and was even more entranced with this one.
Contemporary references dot the narrative ( the discussion of sweets in the 'Domestic Poisons' book is hilarious ) and the plot is satisfactorily twisty.
Arthur's cousins, Alan and Norah are missionaries 'In the Joy of Jesus' and perform the function of detective spies. The characters are mostly kind and always believable.
I can't recommend this and the previous book highly enough. You would have to have a heart of stone not to enjoy it.

Another cracker!
Thoroughly enjoyable and so well researched. So excited for the next one, let's hope this is a long series.
