Whatever''s Been Going on at Mumblesby?

English

By (author): Colin Watson

In Flaxboroughs posh neighbouring village, Mumblesbury, the local solicitor, Richard Daspard Loughbury, has suddenly died. 

Natural causes it appears, but DI Purbright and the ever-helpful Miss Lucy Teatime are taken aback by the quality of Loughburys art collection  including a Paul Klee, a Corot, and even a fragment of the True Cross.

All seem to have been acquired locally and the question of blackmail hangs in the air. Loughburys decidedly un-posh widow, Zoe, is less than grief-stricken, as are a cast of colourful characters from randy farmers to gin-soaked county types. Then, the recent suicide of a local farmers wife also begins to look questionable.

Witty and a little wicked, this final tale in Colin Watsons Flaxborough series offers a mordantly entertaining cast of characters and laugh-out-loud wordplay.
