Description
Charles Courtley was a man with many enemies. His violent outbursts and bullying behavior had driven his family and employees to resentment, and even the local community felt threatened by his dominance. When Charles was found dead in the woods of his remote East Anglian estate, Inspector Simon Sturt was tasked with unraveling the complex web of motives and alibis. As he delved deeper into the case, Sturt discovered that each of the suspects had a seemingly solid reason to have wanted Charles dead - but no one seemed willing to talk. The investigation led him to explore the tangled relationships between Charles's family members, employees, and neighbors, all of whom had reasons to bear a grudge against the deceased. Dorothy Erskine Muir was a renowned author who drew inspiration from real-life crimes in her writing. Her detective novels are intricate and meticulously researched, offering a gripping glimpse into the darker corners of human nature.
