Helpful Score: 1

At her best Charlotte Macleod's farce resembles that of Wodehouse. And this is one of her best. Leaning hard into the genre of fantasy, this story tells how spunky, widowed landlady Zilla Trott finds the long-dead mule driver Hiram Jellyby and between them they manage to solve a murder, and the mystery behind Hedrick Snarf's recent penchant for purple silk socks.
