Inspector James and Sergeant Honeybody expected a pleasant vacation in Dorset. Sir Charles Fennel had invited them to stay at his ancestral home while they cleared the name of his great-aunt, Penelope, whose fiance had died in 1874 of a massive dose of antimony in his whiskey. Was the death of the young officer suicide or murder? Penelope had not been accused but there had been suspicions. Her diary has now been found and is to be published, but was she guilty of murder. Then someone is murdered and the past and present mysteries keep the detectives busy.
