Another book that can be read over and over, and one that the reader will enjoy even more after seeing the wonderful 1946 movie.
Atmospherically set in an environment that is basically self-contained (as are so many of the well done golden age mysteries), murder takes place in a remote hospital in the English countryside during WWII. It's cleverly plotted and a fun whodunit with a memorable detective (wonderfully brought to life in the film version by Alistair Sim.) Brand wrote a number of good mysteries, but this is her masterpiece and can be reread every few years with almost the same enjoyment as the first time. (And watch for the clues you missed originally.)
NOTE: in the volume printed as part of The Collection of Mystery Classics there is an introduction by author Marian Babson that contains spoilers (!); so read the intro after reading the book itself.
