Murders at the Crab Apple Café

The peace of the picturesque English village of Roseneath is shattered by a double murder at the Crab Apple Café, where the establshment's owner and her grand-daughter have been found shot dead. Sergeant Mellor is hopeful that the case will mean promotion. But even he has to confess himself baffled by the lack of positive clues and the overabundance of possible suspects, which include the local Vicar, the Vicar's chauffeur, the Vicar's chauffer's wife and the village constable's delinquent son. With the help of Inspector Hotchkiss of Scotland Yard, Mellor sets about unravelling the mystery. 

Originally published in 1933, this is the only crime novel from Gordon Manners (a pen-name of Australian author Mary Fullerton) and will delight all fans of golden age crime fiction!
