The Case of the Flowery Corpse

Bush, Christopher -- The Case of the Flowery Corpse (1956)

 

B

 

Good, solid Travers, more rural than most of the later books.  Excellent job of unravelling complex, somewhat coincidence-driven plot (Black’s accidental poisoning and disposal of his body).  More emphasis on discovering the victim’s past history than on details of modern crime—no cast-iron alibis.  New facts being discovered—onion technique: no stonewalling or dead ends.  Thoroughly absorbing.
