Synopsis: A witty whodunit set in WWII England starring &“one of the more interesting married teams of detectives . . . A sort of globetrotting Nick and Nora&” (Thrilling Detective). While in England, Pat and Jean Abbott are focused on contributing to the war effort in whatever way they can, but they don&’t mind taking a weekend to join some other American expats at the country home of advertising man Steve Hayward and his wife. But before much fun can be had, a body is found on the premises. Pat isn&’t so sure that everyone&’s impulse to blame the death on a passing drifter or a Nazi spy is the answer—and when the spotlight of suspicion falls on a member of a house party he&’s sure is innocent, he starts getting reluctantly involved in the case . . . Praise for the Pat and Jean Abbott Mysteries &“Lively and exciting.&” —The New York Times &“Well-plotted and mystifying.&” —Saturday Review
