Book Description:
Long Piddleton had always been wary of newcomers, but the quiet town was stunned when the first stranger was found dead, upended in a butt of ale in the cellar of The Man With A Load Of Mischief. Then the second body appeared, swinging in place of the mechanical man above the door of the Jack and Hammer,
Suddenly Long Piddleton had good reason to be wary of everyone! Its cozy pubs and inns with their polished pewter and blazing hearths had become scenes of the most bizarre crimes. Who were the victims? And who was the murder? A maniac? A stranger? Or the disarmingly friendly man next door?

Yet another of her thoroughly delightful "pub" British mysteries.

Two pubs in Long Piddleton are the sights of two murders. Scotland Yard's Richard Jury gets some help from Long Piddleton's own Melrose Plant to root out evil in the heart of the village. First in the series.

This seems to be the first of her Richard Jury mysteries. It is full of English wit. A truly enjoyable read.
