(conunued from previous page) as funny nor as original as the Don Camillo books. Yet it has its choice moments; and the democratic independence of the children, and the state of frenzy in which everybody seems to live give a new flavour to. its domestic humours. In Cyril Hare’s urbane and witty whodunit, the murder of a_ destitute widow is solved by a sardonic Chief Constable and an elderly retired lawyer. How pleasant to read a civilised detective novel, with really tikeable characters, set in rural England, and with not a bruiser, a blonde or a bottle of Bourbon within a thousand miles!
