Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Something must have happened at number 14 Beatrice Avenue. Four policemen were maneuvering a bathtub out the front door and Detective Inspector Purbright was fishing about in the pipes. But was this a question of murder? An anonymous letter from a back-bedroom vigilante had darkly hinted at foul deeds in that quiet house.

Had a very clever killer poured his victim down the drain?

The many twists in the plot mix with brilliantly drawn characters and understated and iconoclastic English humour. Watson takes you into an eccentric world and plot yet is always convincing, readable and entertaining. This is an outstanding book which deserves to be republished.
