A cozy dinner party assumes a sinister air when Daphne Bymeres, one of Wanda Mace’s house guests, is found dead the next morning.
What is most awkward is the fact that Daphne’s husband, David, and Wanda were lovers. But surely neither David nor Wanda would invite suspicion by attempting to murder Daphne in Wanda’s own house?
And the intrigue thickens when Superintendent Masters and Inspector Green of Scotland Yard are called in and note that the cause of death was not poison but rather cerebral hemorrhage. So how was Daphne killed—if, indeed, she was killed? An ingenious puzzle—with a beautiful solution.
Table D'Hote is book 8 in the Masters and Green Mystery series.
“The many who miss the properly clued inductive detective story will fall on this one with relief” - Times Literary Supplement
