Description
Detective Chief Inspector Wilfred Dover is a man with a unique set of skills. His inexperience and laziness make him an unlikely candidate to solve even the most straightforward cases. Yet, Scotland Yard has seen fit to send him to Creedshire to investigate the disappearance of Juliet Rugg, a young housemaid who vanished without a body. The case seems straightforward: Juliet was given her favors freely, which may have led to blackmail, and she's nowhere to be found. However, Dover's lack of motivation makes it unlikely that he'll even bother to solve the case. The question is, why should Scotland Yard bother sending him at all? Joyce Porter's novel offers a unique blend of humor and wit, as Dover navigates his way through this bizarre case. With its clever plot and comedic tone, this book is sure to entertain readers looking for a lighthearted mystery.
