Synopsis

Rainbow descended on the valley of Middlehope in the West Country with the energy and methods of a man who intended to take over. Having extravagantly refurbished the big house of the village (from which he planned to extend his business of selling antiques) he moved in on every aspect of village life, even dislodging the church organist and taking over himself. In the saloon bar of the Gun Dog Miss de la Pole, a native aristocrat, remarked 'He won't do. you know.' This seemed to be the judgement of the whole village. not least of the mutinous and ingenious trebles of the choir. Somebody killed Rainbow. His beautiful young widow was among the suspects. Superintendent George Felse, newly promoted head of the Midshire C.I.D., thus finds a sensational murder on his doorstep. The investigation reaches out its complex ramifications, and comes to a head when police find the murderer - but the murderer holds a hostage. Ellis Peters is a very well known crime novelist. an acknowledged professional of story-telling. From her brilliant previous book. A Morbid Taste for Bones, she moves back to contemporary times in Rainbow's End, thus providing yet another baffling case for George Felse to study.
