The rigidly conservative town of Hexton-on-Weir, where twelve-year residents, such as veterinarian Marcus Kitteredge and his wife Helen, are still regarded as newcomers, sponsors a church fair which becomes the background for murder.
This is a great comic-suspense story! Highly recommended!

If you like a good mystery and a good comedy but have a difficuly time finding the two together, then this is the book for you! Barnard is an expert and combining a very intriguing mystery with the highest (and sometimes lowest) comedy i have ever read. He is truly and artist. This book is rich in intrigue, laughs, and suspense until the very last sentence (and I do mean the VERY last sentence so don't read it first or everything will be ruined!!) Anyway, I highly recommend this book to anyone with a love of mystery and a great sense of humor!
