Synopsis

Three separate notices in the newspaper for a requiem mass for Robert Raynald: one by his mother, one by his estranged wife, one by his daughter. This odd approach draws the attention of Superintendent Mallett and his friend Doctor Fitzbrown. The inquest had decided that Raynold shot himself whilst temporarily insane. However his daughter is not convinced and manages to find enough evidence to arouse the investigator within Mallett. Raynald’s story is presented in flashbacks, as Mallett and Fitzbrown interview the many different characters to piece together what happened.<br /> Fitt uses first person narratives to excellent effect to expand both the mystery plot and characterizations.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Mary Fitt was the pseudonym of Kathleen Freeman (1897-1959) a classical scholar who taught Greek at the University College of South Wales in Cardiff. Aside from her mystery novels, Freeman published many books on classical Greece, scholarly articles and children’s stories. A member of the Detection Club, Fitt wrote 29 mysteries, but her style and approach was very different to her contemporaries; she focused on character over plot and subverted the norms of the traditional detective novel.
