He Who Whispers by John Dickson Carr
3.0

Miles Hammond is invited by Dr. Gideon Fell to join a dinner of the Murder Club. He is a soldier who just got out of a year and a half convalescence after being gassed. During that time, he and his sister inherited a rather large fortune as well as a large estate with an incredible library. But Miles is at loose ends. He can't even make it on time to the Murder Club dinner. When he gets there though, the club members aren't even there. Just another guest (Barbara Morell) and a man with a fantastic story (Professor Rigaud).
It seems the professor was in France when a man was killed a the top of a tower, with no way anyone could have gotten to him. When the murder starts to come closer to home, Miles had better hope that Dr. Fell can help distinguish the normal from the paranormal.
It's certainly an interesting ending and while the mystery wrapped up nicely
SpoilerI was disappointed the Miles went for the pretty but unstable girl
