Trouble is brewing for the Hoggetts and their friend Chief Inspector Macdonald in Lunesdale, deep in the Lancashire fell country. By the jagged cliffs and chilling depths of a secluded quarry pool, strange noises disturb the night, and after an architect surveying the area is nearly hoisted into the cold waters by an unseen assailant, suspicions of a cold current of crime running through the area become a matter for the police.

First published in 1949, this classic of Lake District crime fiction pairs Lorac’s evocative depictions of her beloved Lunesdale with a twisting and intelligent puzzle for Chief Inspector Macdonald.

A great addition to the works of E.C.R. Lorac that have been reissued by the British Library. Especially enjoyable, since one of the major characters is said to be based on Lorac herself! David Thorpe does a fine job, as usual, in reading the story. I recommend reading/listening to The Theft of the Iron Dogs first, as several of the characters in that mystery also show up in this one, and it is referred to in the text, with some minor spoilers. And, Theft of the Iron Dogs is also a great Lorac mystery.

Fun mystery

One of the things I have enjoyed about the Lunesdale books is the vivid sense of place. I’m afraid this book does not really have that. Moreover, the plot was not particularly interesting to me.
Nevertheless, I remain a huge Lorac fan and hope the British Library keeps publishing her many out of print titles.

Not my favorite Lorac
