4.0
Detective Mr. Gryce is called to the house of a recluse, Mr Adams, as he has been discovered stabbed to death in the circular study at the centre of the house. In this he is helped by an amateur sleuth, Miss Amelia Butterworth. The only other person in the house at the time is a deaf and dumb butler, and a caged starling that can repeat some of the words that it has heard.
An enjoyable mystery.

Weaker than the previous two books. Miss Butterworth figures very little in the outcome of the investigation. But neither does Mr. Gryce.
