Superintendent Richard Jury of Scotland Yard CID is off to the north to visit his cousin over the holidays when he runs into a young women making notes in a graveyard. They chat and have coffee and Jury, whom she fascinates, plans to stop in again for another visit on his way home. But when he arrives, she's already dead, apparently of an overdose of prescription drugs -- and he's not buying it. The plot progresses to a stately home filled with snowed-in aristocrats and the odd artist, where another murder occurs, which Jury is sure is tied to the first one. Add in an adolescent earl with an amazing talent for snooker, and you've got a pretty good story.
Quite a good page-turner. I didn't guess who-dunnit - which is always good.
