Trent's Last Case by E.C. Bentley

5.0

An interesting mystery with a few twists that were a real surprise. Trent is an artist who takes a dilatory interest in mysteries. A newspaper owner that he occasionally investigates for asks him to look into the death of an extremely rich financier who has been shot. Trent reluctantly agrees to go and there meets an old friend whose niece is the wife of the dead man. He also meets a Scotland Yard inspector he knows well. The case is very unusual in that no one heard the shot and the man is not wearing his false teeth though he is otherwise completely dressed. The dead man had 2 secretaries - one for his business affairs and one to manage his properties. Meander son was an extremely ruthless businessman with very many enemies and no one seems truly sorry that he is dead.
