A bizarre clause in an elderly womanâs will exposes a dirty secretâand a murderâin this âintricate, witty, and thoroughly delightfulâ mystery (Publishers Weekly). It was an odd request, but when Octavia Garamond passed away, she left explicit instructions in her will: The police must be present at her funeral, and the coroner should be exceptionally thorough when examining her body. Amelia Kennerly is perplexed to find herself the sole executor of her great-auntâs will, as she barely knew her. Further questions arise when the local parson, Mr. Fournier, is anything but happy to conduct Octaviaâs service. Then someone breaks into Octaviaâs home and tears the house apart. It seems the old ladyâs words may have been eerily prescient: âHell is empty, and all the devils are here.â From a winner of crime fictionâs prestigious Diamond Dagger, this twisting mystery featuring Detective Inspector C. D. Sloan of the Berebury CID is âa literate, surprising treatâ (Publishers Weekly).
