Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. Book 1st U.S. edition, September 1991, so stated, with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. "Some surprises await retired tax inspector G.D.H. Pringle (Murder in Close-up, etc. ) when he decides to explore his roots in the village of Wuffinge Parva, fueled by the vague notion of moving out of London with his down-to-earth mistress Mavis Bignell. Pringle finds his granny's cottage gone; lots of new so-called villas; the decrepit Saxon church in the throes of a monster festival celebrating the restoration of its ancient wall paintings; and, heading back to his hotel after a vinous dinner with new-found friends Ted and Felicity Brown, he discovers the strangled corpse of Doris Leveret--a corpse that has disappeared by the time he returns with the local police. There's more, much more, as scandals are uncovered and new incidents arise--lightened by satiric glances at gentrification and at Doris's bossy, ecology-mad social rival Miranda Kenny..."---Kirkus Review.
