Summary
Death is inevitable, or is it....
George Arrow, a good-looking, independently wealthym and single man of 36, has just been diagnosed with a weak heart.
A heart so weak, his doctor tells him, he must go to extraordinary lengths to avoid putting the slightest strain upon it.
On his doctor's advice, George packs up his life in Dublin and boards a train to the Bay of Galway where he intends to live quietly in a hotel and await the inevitable end.
On the train, he meets John Burden, and as they chat, George realizes that his new acquaintance is an odious man.
So, it is with some alarm that he realizes the very unpleasant John Burden is, just like George himself, about to start a new chapter of his life at Crane's Court.
As that new life progresses, George realizes that all of his first impressions of Burden-that he is a selfish, nasty man-are entirely correct. And George is not the only person who thinks so.
So, when Burden is found dead, stabbed through the heart with a kitchen knife, it's not a matter of finding out why he was killed but of narrowing down the field of people who wanted him gone.
Inspector Mike Kenny must identify the killer, but where to start?

Lively story beautifully read
I really enjoyed this old fashioned book and the narrator did a wonderful job and really transports you to a genteel world of old
Enjoy

A tiresome ending.
Some interesting period features. But finally a deeply boring ending. I can’t say how much I prayed for the end. I couldn’t have cared less about the identity of the murderer or their motivation. Yawn. Yawn. Yawn.

A wonderful period piece
A funny, charming, intriguing story set in genteel 1950s Ireland. Beautifully written and a great narrator.
