In this sprightly mystery debut, set
in an English village, tension between the impoverished gentry and the
newly rich leads to murder. Actor, TV personality and parvenu Larry
Aitken, who has recently bought the Manor House in the fictional South
Harptree, near Bath, believes the right to run things--including the
local church--is part of his purchase. The fatal poisoning of Aitken's
chief local detractor during a church-related meeting in the Manor
brings deep hostility into the open. Targeted by a hate-mail campaign,
Aitken hires young Bath private investigator Max Shepard to find out
who is responsible. With the help of American widow Elizabeth Blair,
who sells patchwork quilts in a shop beneath his office, Max sets out
to find the womanizing Aitken's enemies--and they are many, including
ex-mistresses and the former owners of the Manor. Another murder and
Elizabeth's sharp-eyed forays into village society add interest to the
credible plot as Brown skewers social foibles and the delusions of the
pretentious. <br>
