Novelist by accident Arbie  gets embroiled in a locked door mystery making him become an accidental detective after a lady in his village is discovered to be dead in her house. From the beginning of this novel, there are elements akin to PG Wodehouse. Although Arbie may seem hapless, he is in fact shrewd and has a great eye for detail. Arbie and Val are like two children playing detective who stumble upon a solution. A clever closer door mystery which doesn’t leave a clue unsolved.
