Alternate title for this book might have been "Appleby's Last Case" since this was his last book in the series. Very light humored and Innes by this time has toned down his erudite style but is still very witty. He was probably conscious that it was the last in the series since the character is almost too aware that he came out of retirement to solve this case The perspective is unusual because usually detectives are gung ho but here he is sedate and accepts the case reluctantly or ambivalently not really wanting to get involved in any real way. Characters very well drawn even if some are a little stereotypical or over the top. All in all four stars. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Clusters, a great country house, is troubled by bats, as Lord and Lady Osprey complain to their guests, who include first rate detective, Sir John Appleby. In the matter of bats, Appleby is indifferent, but he is soon faced with a real challenge - the murder of Lord Osprey, stabbed with an ornate dagger in the library.

There may be a breaking of the fourth wall, when Lady Judith points out to Sir John that he hankers for his position as an aspiring young detective inspector at the CID. Maybe Innes was suggesting that he would rather be writing about that young man than the elderly, retired version of him. ( )
