Lament For A Maker  (English, Electronic book text, Innes Michael)

A MASTERLY MYSTERY by Michael Innes at the top of his form tells of THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF RANALD GUTHRIE, THE MAD MISER OF ERCHANY. The serene prologue by Ewan Bell (the cobbler of Kinkeig) paves the way for the baffling narrative by Noel Gylby (the Man on the Spot) and then to the revelations of Inspector JOHN APPLEBY of Scotland Yard(The Sleuth) and further explanations by the DOCTOR and then to the epilogue by Ewan Bell.
