There's a dead body on the Common, so what else can you talk about over dinner? But for a husband and wife whose marriage is on the rocks, their bank manager, their lawyer and his bimbo girlfriend, is it a safe conversation to have, particularly when a writer of lurid crime fiction is also there to make up the numbers? There's a very sharp knife about the place too. And whatever did happen to the missing librarian? A mystery novel which reads like a Hitchcock movie. In this intriguing novel Fidelis Morgan plays tag with the reader, taking them through the minds of six guests at a dinner party where murder is on the menu.
