Angela Marchmont is on her way to stay with friends on Romney Marsh in Kent when thanks to a combination of thick fog and sheep on the road her Bentley with chauffer, William, at the wheel, lands in a ditch.  Neither of them are hurt but while they are scrambling out of the ditch, Angela finds the body of a young woman.Naturally she is curious about the body especially when it seems clear that it is a case of murder and it is being investigated by her friend Inspector Jameson of Scotland Yard.  This is a typical Golden Age mystery with plenty of intertwining strands and plenty of people with secrets they need to keep.  The book is well written with excellent dialogue and plotting as well as interesting characters.Angela herself is really growing on me and I’m looking forward to reading more of the mysteries in which she manages to involve herself.  If you enjoy Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh et al then I’m sure you will enjoy Clara Benson.  This is the fourth book in the series.
