The Saltmarsh Murders - Softcover
The sleepy seaside village of Saltmarsh would seem an unlikely scene for murder. Under normal circumstances, the most exciting event of the year was the annual Bank Holiday fete put on by the vicar of the local church. But this year, something has gone wrong. First the vicar disappears and later is found chained to a stake after having been beaten. Next, a young unmarried girl who had just given birth is found strangled in her room. A man is arrested, the girls former suitor, but evidently not the father of the child, but is he really the guilty party? It falls to psychologist and amateur sleuth Mrs. Bradley to discover the truth in this early mystery by that grand dame of detective fiction, Gladys Mitchell.
