Publisher Description

Noel Wells, curate in the sleepy village of Saltmarsh, likes to spend his time dancing in the study with the vicar's niece, until one day the vicar's unpleasant wife discovers her unmarried housemaid is pregnant and trouble begins.

It is left to Noel to call for the help of sometimes detective and full-time Freudian Mrs Bradley, who sets out on an unnervingly unorthodox investigation into the mysterious pregnancy, and investigation that also takes in smuggling, the village lunatic, a missing corpse, a public pillory, an exhumation and, of course, a murderer.

Mrs Bradley is easily one of the most memorable personalities in crime fiction, and in this classic whodunnit she proves that some English villages can be murderously peaceful.

"Interesting murder mystery that takes place in an English country village. Sufficient number of characters to keep the reader confused. Some humorous moments during the investigation. I would like to read more of this author, but not right away."

    " While I enjoyed this book, it was a bit too convoluted for me. I did not enjoy the protrayal of Mrs. Bradley in this book either. I don't remember her as being quite so old in the other books in this series. I will probably try one more of the Mrs. Bradley books before I completely give up on them. "

    " This was a re-read, and was very Gladys Mitchell in employing an outside narrator to describe events and characters. I rather missed Laura who appears in other Mrs Bradley books. "

    " Mitchell did an incredible, and often amusing, job of capturing the voice of the young, not unintelligent but, bumbling crate who narrates the story. The book contains many views in regards to race that we would find troubling today, but still succeeds in being a satisfying whodunit. "

    " Very hard to follow, garbled and incomprehensible narration. I love books set in the golden era, Christie, Sayers, Marsh etc.....but I'm afraid Gladys leaves a lot to be desired "

    " It's odd to me how Mrs. Bradley can change so much from book to book. I didn't care for this incarnation. "

    " Well plotted but I found the Agatha Christie cum Wodehouse cum Just William style rather annoying. "
