On the eve of Elaine Southey's 21st birthday, Ivan Sweet has been found dead in his flat in the basement of the Southeys' historic north London home. A slick charmer to some of the tenants and a loathsome young scoundrel to others, his death doesn't draw out many tears among the house's residents and neighbours. And yet the sordid truth starts to seep into the heart of their small community. A murderer is living among them, and who's to say when they might strike again?

The shrewd Oxford man Superintendent Paul Grainger finds himself faced with a small circle of suspects whose connections and hidden motives heap complexity upon complexity in this tightly wrought mystery, shot through with a chilling touch of the macabre.

On the whole, I enjoy books narrated by Simon Mattacks. He brings them to life for me and does a good job distinguishing the characters. Even though written in the early 1960s, this book has the feel of a golden age detective mystery. As pointed out in the introduction, the author introduces a slew of suspects at the beginning. She does a good job with developing many of the characters. I had to create a suspects list to keep track of all of them. However, it did keep me guessing until almost to the very end. If you like golden age detective mysteries, you would enjoy this read.

Narrator is superb!
