Description
Following a mysterious explosion, the offices of Excelsior Joinery Company are no more; the three directors are killed, and the peace of a quiet town in Surrey lies in ruins. When the supposed cause of an ignited gas leak is dismissed and the presence of dynamite is revealed, Superintendent Littlejohn of Scotland Yard is summoned to the scene.
Beneath the sleepy veneer of Evingden lies a hotbed of deep-seated grievances. Confounding Littlejohn’s investigation is an impressive cast of suspicious persons, each concealing their own axe to grind.
George Bellairs’ novel of small-town grudges with calamitous consequences revels in the abundant possible solutions to the central crime as a masterpiece of misdirection. Surfeit of Suspects captivates with its plethora of potential resolutions, keeping readers guessing at every turn.
