description: “When will you pay me, say the bells of Old Bailey…”  Nothing much ever happens in the sleepy village of Long Greeting. Until, that is, five people commit suicide within the space of nine weeks. Is this the tragic result of blackmail or the work of a ruthless and daring murderer? When Bertha Tidy is found strangled at the beauty parlour she runs in the nearby cathedral town of Ravenchuch, it becomes clear that something very sinister indeed is afoot in this quiet corner of rural England, and the police will have to act fast to prevent further tragedy…  Originally published in 1947, this is a classic murder mystery from the golden age of detection.
