The story is laid in Ringshall, a small English village, rich in tradition, superstition, and folklore. Squire Godfrey Harrington, land-rich and coffers-poor, has married a wealthy widow who intends to compel the village's advancement towards progress and culture whether they like it or not. A town fair, set up on Foakes Green despite the villagers' misgivings, culminates in bad blood-when a murder is discovered, death by 'elf-bolt', there are plenty of motives. As Miss Marion Leslie, narrator-turned-sleuth, and her curate friend Roger Cartwright discover, the dead woman made many enemies and preserved her own secrets.
Mystery fiction researchers determined that P. R. Shore was a pseudonym for Helen Madeline Leys (1892-1965), who also wrote as Eleanor Scott. The Bolt was published in 1929, while her second mystery (also as by P. R. Shore) was The Death Film, published in 1932."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
