Synopsis: &“Slow and steady wins the case&” as a dedicated London policeman puzzles through a fatal fall, a financial mystery, and an eccentric family&’s many secrets (Kirkus Reviews). Miss Penelope Blow&’s fatal fall from her bedroom window would seem like a tragic accident, if it weren&’t for Penelope&’s multiple visits to Scotland Yard before her death, trying to get in touch with Inspector Littlejohn. Now, before he ever had a chance to talk to the woman, he&’s driven to look deeper into a case that may very well be murder—with no cooperation from Penelope&’s wealthy, secretive, and thoroughly odd family . . . &“As is often the case in Bellairs&’ novels, his prose is often very wryly amusing. . . . One of his most readable tales, offering an interesting mix of characters and a satisfying puzzle to solve.&” —Mysteries Ahoy
