About

A bizarre clause in an elderly woman's will exposes a dirty secret and a ruthless killing in this absorbing mystery from Diamond Dagger winner Catherine Aird It was an odd request, but when Octavia Garamond passed away, she left explicit instructions in her will: The police must be present at her funeral, and the coroner should be exceptionally thorough when examining her body.   Amelia Kennerly is perplexed to find herself the sole executor of her great-aunt's will, as she barely knew her. Further questions arise when the local parson, Mr. Fournier, is anything but happy to conduct Octavia's service. Then someone breaks into Octavia's home and tears the house apart. It seems the old lady's  words may have been eerily prescient: "Hell is empty, and all the devils are here."

    "The very best in British mystery."
    The New Yorker
    "Intricate, witty and thoroughly delightful, Aird's latest case for Chief Inspector C. D. Sloan and Constable Crosby probes a death with roots in WW II biochemical research. . . . A literate, surprising treat."
    Publishers Weekly, starred review
    "Aird's delicious concoctions are never less than elegant and mischievously sharp."
    The New Yorker
