Corpses in Enderby - Paperback

by George Bellairs (Author)

A murder in plain sight brings Scotland Yard to investigate family secrets in a sleepy English town in this mystery from the beloved series.

In the close-knit community of Enderby, Ned Bunn wasn't what you'd call popular. In fact, there were some fellow residents who wished him dead. But when Bunn is found dead on the doorstep of his own shop, the town is in shock.

As Inspector Littlejohn of Scotland Yard investigates, he finds more than typical small-town animosity in the victim's past. Surprising revelations about Bunn and his family bring new leads--and new suspects--to this unexpectedly baffling case.
