The Case Is Closed by Patricia Wentworth

3.0

Again, a nice British cozy. In this one, Hillary's cousin's husband has been convicted of murdering his uncle -- but Hillary is convinced he didn't do it. After a chance encounter on a train, she sets out to find out more -- and ends up reconciling with her finance in the process. An improbable story, with a convoluted alibi -- and the one detail that should have caught the eye of the police originally apparently went unnoticed (extremely suspicious lack of fingerprints on a door handle should have been an indication that Geoffrey didn't murder his uncle -- why would he clean the doorhandle and leave only his own prints? A door-handle that was presumably touched by the dead uncle, the housekeeper, the butler, etc, during the normal course of the day?). The intrepid Hillary saves the day, with Miss Silver there to mop up and supply the details of the plot.
