Michael Innes: Appleby at Allington (UK 1971) From the Publisher: When the first body was discovered at Allington Park, he was quite content to believe that it was an accident. But the second body starts him thinking. Two deaths, one after another, is tragic coincidence and Sir John doesn't believe in coincidence. So he digs around. How did Owain Allington buy back the family estate? Why was he so attached to his rather dissolute nephew, Martin Allington? In a recent 'Son et Lumière', there had been mention of treasure at Allington Park. But everyone who could gain from it had shrugged it off as pure fiction. Only some of them had shrugged it off a lot more intensely than others. Michael Innes: Appleby at Allington. Harmondsworth: Penguin, 1971, SBN: 14 003 122 7, 178 p., 25p 5/-.

Michael Innes: Death by Water (USA 1969) From the Publisher: So begins this tragic, yet amusing divertissement of repeated death by misadventure. An old castle, a gay village charity fete, a unique assembly of human oddments among the characters -- these and a legendary lost treasure add up to, what, in Sir John's own words, "that chap in Baker Street called a two-pipe mystery." "A model of puzzle-construction." -- The New York Times Book Review Michael Innes: Death by Water. An Inspector Appleby Mystery. Berkley Medallion Books, SBN: 425-01738-9 (September, 1969), 214 p., 60c.
