Philip Haynes caused mischief during his life, and this continued after his death when the terms of his will were read. So who is killing off the siblings to gain their inheritance, Angela Marchmont is asked to investigate.
Again an enjoyable tale on the second read. (

This mystery was gloriously reminiscent of Agatha Christie. Miss Marple springs to mind but this is no copy. It is unique enough to be thoroughly interesting. I guessed whodunit early on but didn't know for sure, so I stayed alert to the clues and nuances. I won't tell if my guess was wrong or right, so go ahead and read it without a spoiler. The writing and plotting are good. (
