 From the back cover (Corgi 1992 reprint):
On the secluded estate of Lord and Lady Bottrel, the body of amateur flautist Tony Mills was found, shot by his own gun - apparently suicide. But a closer examination revealed some rather sinister inconsisten-cies and Chief Superinten-dent Wycliffe was called in.
As he began to unravel the last days of the dead man, another mystery was revealed - the disappear-ance of Lizzie Biddick, pretty young maid at the Bottrel ancestral home. Gradually bitter family feuds and secret illicit relationships were uncovered, and then another body was found, shattering for ever the pastoral peace of the Cornish estate.
