Description

> Malcolm Warren, stockbroker and amateur detective, can never resist a mystery. So he soon succumbs when an old Oxford friend with a rather shady reputation begs him to investigate the disappearance of a cantankerous uncle from a suburban Gothic mansion. Their search starts a hilarious trail which, thanks to careful perusal of railway timetables, leads them from seedy seaside hotels and gloomy Cornish coves to the Arts and Crafts Shop of South Mersley Garden City, until it finally lures the unsuspecting sleuth to a damp and sinister destination ... >An absorbing and gleeful puzzle, *Death of His Uncle* displays all the wit, atmospheric detail, and knowing observation of human nature which have won Kitchin a devoted following among lovers of classic detective fiction.
