Sergeant Love finds himself literally knocked out by a little plaster cottage at Flaxborough's antiques auction. DI Purbright must dig deep into the past of the local gentry to find out how the picture leads to heirlooms and murder. Witty and wicked, Colin Watson's tales offer a mordantly entertaining cast and laugh-out-loud wordplay.
Sergeant Love is a sucker for a picturesque country cottage. But he finds himself quite literally knocked out by the little bas-relief plaster cottage that’s on display at Flaxborough’s antiques auction. This pretty but rather crudely painted trinket mysteriously sells for hundreds of pounds having sparked a heated bidding war, while the Sergeant gets floored by a would-be cottage thief. So DI Purbright, teamed up with a world-weary brother officer down from London, must dig deep into the dubious past of the local gentry, the laconic Moldhams, in their crumbling stately pile, to find out how the little plaster picture leads to a tale of heirlooms and murder. Witty and a little wicked, Colin Watson’s tales offer a mordantly entertaining cast of characters and laugh-out-loud wordplay.
