β¦ Synopsis
In the seeming tranquility of Regency Square in Cheltenham live the diverse inhabitants of its ten houses. One summerβs evening, the squareβs rivalries and allegiances are disrupted by a sudden and unusual death β an arrow to the head, shot through an open window at no. 6. β©Unfortunately for the murderer, an invitation to visit had just been sent by the crime writer Aldous Barnet, staying with his sister at no. 8, to his friend Superintendent Meredith. Three days after his arrival, Meredith finds himself investigating the shocking murder two doors down. Six of the squareβs inhabitants are keen members of the Wellington Archery Club, but if Meredith thought that the case was going to be easy to solve, he was wrongβ¦ β©The Cheltenham Square Murder is a classic example of how John Bude builds a drama within a very specific location. Here the Regency splendour of Cheltenham provides the perfect setting for a story in which appearances are certainly deceiving. β©John Bude was the pseudonym of Ernest Elmore (1901β1957), an author of the golden age of crime fiction. Elmore was a co-founder of the Crime Writersβ Association, and worked in the theatre as a producer and director. Other John Bude crime titles available as British Library Crime Classics include The Cornish Coast Murder, The Lake District Murder, The Sussex Downs Murder Βand Death on the Riviera.
