About the Book
Originally published in Great Britain in 1935 by Longmans, Green & Co., Ltd. This edition issued based on the paperback edition published in 2009 by Sourcebooks Landmark, an imprint of Sourcebooks, Inc.Book Synopsis
A Moonlit Night, a Sleeping Village, and an Unaccountable Murder...
In the dead of the night, a man in an evening dress is found murdered, locked in the stocks on the village green. Unfortunately for Superintendent Hannasyde, the deceased is Andrew Vereker, a man hated by nearly everyone, especially his odd and unhelpful family members. The Verekers are as eccentric as they are corrupt, and it will take all Hannasyde's skill at detection to determine who's telling the truth, and who is pointing him in the wrong direction. The question is: who in this family is clever enough to get away with murder?
"Death in the Stocks is rare and refreshing."--The Times
"Miss Heyer's characters act and speak with an ease and conviction that is refreshing as it is rare in the ordinary mystery novel."--Times Literary Supplement
