The Surrays and their five children form a prolific writing machine, with scores of treatises, reviews and crime thrillers published under their family name. Following a convergence of the whole household at their Oxfordshire home, Ruth—the middle sister—decides to spend some weeks there recovering from the pressures of the writing life. Their next return is heralded by the tragic news that Ruth has taken her life after an evening at the Surrays' hosting a set of publishers and writers, one of whom is named as Ruth's literary executor in the will she left behind.

Despite suspicions, the verdict at the inquest is suicide—but when Ruth's brother Richard receives a letter from the deceased which was delayed in the post, he enlists the help of CID Robert Macdonald to investigate what could only be an ingeniously planned murder.

Another excellent story from E C R Lorac with enjoyable narration from David Thorpe. One or two technucal issues with the sound fading in and out.

Excellent Story

Excellent story with lots of twists and turns. Kept me guessing right to the end.
Possibly the best Lorac I have listened to up to date. Good presentation. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Twists and turns

A reasonable story spoiled by terrible recording. David Thorpe has been very slipshod in preparing this work

Reasonable story - appalling recording

Others have commented on the odd reading, which fades and reappears at times, but which also has a slow enunciation at times as though it is for slow readers, yet at other times skips along nicely. The unevenness (is that a word?) of the reading distracts a little from the enjoyment, but then reflecting on what to write here, it is apparent that the story itself is equally uneven. Too long is spent in Scotland on a near irrelevance, there are several inconsistences in characterisation and mood, and the perpetrator, once we meet him / her (no spoiler!) might as well have a tee-shirt on saying "It was Me" as once met, there is no doubt. I waited in vain for the twist, the red herring, but no, the obvious one is the one wot did it. Some traces of the usual wit, McDonald is as stolid, solid and reliable as ever, but not one of the best.

Not her best

The narration drops off as if you're not in range of the signal (for example: 22:43 of Chapter9). At first I thought I was imagining it. Very annoying and unexpected since it's a recent production. Maybe David Thorpe is too busy to take care of the details.
It's a damn shame!

Over acted and badly sound engineered.
