'This detective novel is much more than interesting. The numerous
characters are well differentiated, and include one of the most
feckless, exasperating and lifelike literary men that ever confused
a trail.' Dorothy L. Sayers, Sunday Times, 1934 When Miss Pongleton
is found murdered on the stairs of Belsize Park station, her
fellow-boarders in the Frampton Hotel are not overwhelmed with
grief at the death of a tiresome old woman. But they all have their
theories about the identity of the murderer, and help to unravel
the mystery of who killed the wealthy 'Pongle'. Several of her
fellow residents - even Tuppy the terrier - have a part to play in
the events that lead to a dramatic arrest. This classic mystery
novel is set in and around the Northern Line of the London
Underground. It is now republished for the first time since the
1930s.
