Synopsis

From the Introduction: Christopher St. John Sprigg is not a name that immediately springs to mind when considering the Golden Age of Mystery, and yet this young man, in only a few years of active writing, produced a solid body of work in the mystery genre. Had his life not been cut short by war, he would have undoubtedly reach the ranks of the Golden Age Greats. Pass the Body—his first detective novel—is a fine example of why it’s easy to make such a claim. Sprigg’s quick wit and fluid style drive the narrative. His version of the British cozy starts out warm, quaint, and quirky but comes crashing down with some very deviant behavior and gruesome shocks. The novel has a cast of a dozen characters—fascinating suspects all; in less capable hands the reader would be lost in the crowd, but Sprigg takes the time to develop the characters, adding brush-strokes of dimension and subtlety as the story develops and the mystery deepens.
