Books like Murder at Derivale by Cecil John Charles Street


When Alfred Kinder, a truck driver, discovers a body in his vehicle, Superintendent 'Jimmy' Waghorn of New Scotland Yard is called to investigate. The victim, Walter Hanslope—a widowed, independent farmer with a modest lifestyle and a taste for good wine—appears to have been a peaceful, unassuming resident of Derivale. As Waghorn, aided by the astute Dr. Priestley, follows each clue, he uncovers aspects of Hanslope's life that reveal motives far more complex than the simple village gentleman we first imagined.
