On the eve of her adored adopted daughter Augusta's twenty-first birthday, and after bullying her harpist Tenella, and telling her great nephew Palin a family secret so dreadful he leaves Tristowell Castle and goes straight down a pothole, old Lady Elizabeth Carn is found securely and determinedly strangled. All sorts of developments in every direction occur, with some thumping subterranean scenes. Inspector Mallet investigates.
Mary Fitt was the pseudonym of Kathleen Freeman (1897-1959) a classical scholar who taught Greek at the University College of South Wales in Cardiff. Aside from her mystery novels, Freeman published many books on classical Greece, scholarly articles and children's stories. A member of the Detection Club, Fitt wrote 29 mysteries, but her style and approach was very different to her contemporaries; she focused on character over plot and subverted the norms of the traditional detective novel.
