James Bennett has been invited to stay at White Priory for
Christmas among the retinue of the glamorous Hollywood actress
Marcia Tait. Her producer, her lover, the playwright for her next
hit and her agent are all here, soon to become so many suspects
when Tait is found murdered on a cold December morning in the
lakeside pavilion. Only the footprints of her discoverer disturb
the snow which fell overnight - and which stopped just shortly
after Marcia was last seen alive. How did the murderer get in and
out of the pavilion without leaving a trace? When Bennett's uncle,
the cantankerous amateur sleuth Sir Henry Merrivale arrives from
London to make sense of this impossible crime, the reader is
treated to a feast of the author's trademark twists, beguiling
false answers and one of the most ingenious solutions in the
history of the mystery genre. When Henry Merrivale arrives to piece
together what appears to be an impossible crime, Carr treats the
reader to sensational twists, febrile tension between the closed
circle of suspects and one of the most perfect solutions in the
history of the genre.
