“both men uttered a fresh exclamation of horror. The face of the
man was not that of the black-bearded bandsman whose jacket
he was wearing. The man they had found stabbed in the back and
lying in Diana’s pool was their host - Felix Nayland!”
The Reverend Harry Westerman was “an energetic, capable
parish priest, a good organiser, and a plain, sensible preacher”
and “a particularly shrewd and capable man. It was no idle boast
of his that he had made a habit of observation - many of his
parishioners little guessed how closely and clearly he had
summed them up by observing those ordinary idiosyncrasies
which escape the notice of most people. He was also a man who
could be deeply interested in many things quite apart from his
professional calling, and chiefly in problems which concerned
humanity.” Attending the garden party of a newcomer to the
parish of Coppleswick he makes a discovery that leads to a long
and complicated investigation with sinister connections to past
events.
