A review by janetlun
A Most Contagious Game by Catherine Aird

This one is a departure from Aird's usual (and excellent) Chief Inspector Sloan and Constable Crosby. In this book, a wealthy and hard-driving business man has a heart attack, and retires to the country in a old Tudor manor house. He and his wife discover a priest's hole, with a very old skeleton in it, and he investigates who the victim might be and who killed them.

As is always the case in this peaceful little country town, someone else has been murdered. That murder, and the village's response to it, forms another plot.

A fine, entertaining read.
