β Julian Symons in Bloody Murder
Hugh Everton was intent on nothing more than quietly drinking in the second-rate hotel he found himself in on Englandβs south coast β and then in walked his old flame Lucy and her new husband and ex-Judge, Gregory Bath. Entreated by Lucy to join her party for an evening back at the Bath residence, Hugh is powerless to resist, but when the night ends with the judgeβs inexplicable murder he is pitched back into a world of chaos and crime β a world he had tried to escape for good.
First published in 1952, The Widow of Bath offers intricate puzzles, international intrigue and a richly evoked portrait of post-war Britain, all delivered with Bennettβs signature brand of witty and elegant prose.
