The Willow Cottage Mystery

When Sir Gilbert Chelford accidentally intercepts a telephone call between his fiancee and another man, he little imagines the consequences that will ensue. For, the next morning, the man in question is found murdered in his study at Willow Cottage. Soon, deep-seated resentments and hidden passions rise to the surface - and by the time the murderer is unmasked, it is clear that the village of Ferrybridge will never be the same again...

Originally published in 1920, this is a vintage murder mystery from British author Derek Vane - a pseudonym of romance writer Blanche Eaton Black.
