Ranging with characteristic assurance from the light-hearted to the macabre, diverse mysteries are most ingeniously and plausibly contrived and convincingly unravelled, including how … a Nursery Rhyme solved a murder … the Shawl of a Thousand Flowers brought inspiration to a perspiring author … a Diamond Necklace turned mouse into man … Grand Opera betrayed a passion … and why a Noble Lord vanished apparently without trace in … The Listerdale Mystery
