- Synopsis
- The Judas Kiss, first published in 1955, features detective Roger Bennion in a classic “golden-age” British mystery by Herbert Adams (1874-1958). From the dustjacket: How a murder was done may sometimes present as great a problem as who did it. The young Michelmores were an unconventional family: Garnet, the eldest, a zealous curate; Jasper, an unorthodox artist; Emerald, an ambitious writer; Pearl, the youngest, wooed by a young doctor and also by a fascinating man already married. George, the father of the four, abroad to recuperate after a long illness, suddenly announced his impending return with a second, entirely unknown wife. The “welcome home” barely concealed the consternation and resentment he occasioned. Roger Bennion chanced to take the next door house for the summer. He and his wife became friendly with their neighbors but were soon aware of tension and hidden secrets. And when murder was done, Roger found himself still more closely involved in the Michelmores’ affairs. Here is an absorbing-detective story in Herbert Adams’ best manner.
