"[A] playfully old-fashioned merry-go-round of missing heirs, false claimants, and fabricated identities . . . Ingenious and elegant." --Kirkus Reviews Millionaire Lord Charlton altered his will in favor of his nephew, Simon Warwick, who had been adopted by American parents when his own were killed in World War II. When Lord Charlton dies, two men claiming to be Simon Warwick turn up in London to claim the estate. Then one is found dead, and Chief Superintendent Henry Tibbett is faced with a double mystery: Who is the murderer--and who is Simon Warwick? Praise for Patricia Moyes "The author who put the 'who' back in whodunit." --Chicago Daily News "A new queen of crime . . . her name can be mentioned in the same breath as Agatha Christie and Ngaio Marsh." --Daily Herald "An excellent detective novel in the best British tradition. Superbly handled." --Columbus Dispatch "Intricate plots, ingenious murders, and skillfully drawn, often hilarious, characters distinguish Patricia Moyes' writing." --Mystery Scene Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

But 2 men show up, each claiming to be the missing nephew. Before the lawyer can validate the claims of either one, one of the men is dead.
Enter Chief Superintendent Henry Tibbett. He must uncover the backgrounds of both heirs, the dead man and his rival, who is now suspect number one. He thinks he has it all figured out when a jaw-dropping plot twist changes everything.
I really enjoyed this book. I probably would not have given it 5 stars because I did guess the identity of the murderer quite early, but the book is really two mysteries, the identity of the murderer, and the identity of Simon Warwick. And the the latter involved a plot twist I have never before seen in a mystery book and it may still be unique. Even if someone else has used it, I am sure that this is the first time it was ever used, and it will blow you away. Wow! Wow! Wow! ( )
