Title: The Three Corpse Trick
Description: Thirtieth in the long-running mystery series with Inspector Arnold and amateur detective Desmond Merrion.

A fairly complex detective novel set in quasi-Norfolk Deanshire, with a Scotland Yard detective overshadowed by a companion friend.

>On the afternoon of Wednesday, June 7th, Wendy Burge takes the bus from the county town of Deaning in Deanshire to the outlying village of Goose Common, where until recently she lived with her husband Peter, to make her usual collection for the Deanshire County Hospital.  From this journey she never returns.  Her body is found the next day floating in the River Lure by a market-gardener of the name of Ezra Robbins.  The local police call in the yard, and Inspector Arnold, accompanied by his friend Desmond Merrion, go down to investigate.
