Chief Inspector Wexford could discover no motive, no reason and no suspect. Convinced he knows who committed the murder of Angela Hathall, he has no evidence to support his theory. He is doubted by friends and colleaguws alike and begins to despair as he believes the murderer will get away with it. Probably he was reading meaning where there was none; probably Angela Hathall really had picked up a stranger, and that stranger had killed her. But why such doubt? Was Wexford becoming cynical and untrusting -- or was this one of the most ingenious crimes he had ever tackled?

"Among the senior citizens of quiet Kingsmarkham, these apple-faced kindly country folk, the world of passion and desires is not yet dim. Did septuagenarians Mr. and Mrs. Betts murder their unbearable old mother Ivy Wrangton, to ingerit her house? Gossip among the Castle Road post office ladies says that when Mrs. Wrangton 'died' there would be no inquest; yet Elsie Parrish, Mrs. Wranton's best friend, who also got a little something in her will, won't hear of any foul play. The cast at first seems as innocuous as the suicide of childless Ann Waterton, an old lady befriended by lonely mixed up teenager, Sophie Grant." - container

An old man, Sir Mañuel Camarque, dies when he loses his foothold on a dark winter night, slips into a lake and drowns under the ice. It looks like an open-and-shut case. However, Camarque, who was a world-famous flautist, planned to marry Dinah Sternhold, a woman young enough to be his grand-daughter. The banns of the marriage had just been read for the third time in church and Sir Mañuel was nervous. Dinah tells Wexford that Camarque had suspicions that his daughter Natalie (who would inherit his fortune) was not his daughter at all but an impostor. Wexford investigates, and develops a theory of an intruder who pushed the old man into the lake
