Title: Accident by design
First published: 1950
Description: It seems a cruel twist of fate that the heirs to a stately home and a long and distinguished family tradition are Gerald (who is weak), his wife Meriel (who is a common, vulgar shrew) and their adolescent son Alan (who is a deeply disturbed, budding psychopath).  So when all three die in separate and very convenient accidents, it really was a blessing.

Or was it murder?
