A hit-and-run murder unearths a case of mistaken identity in this â well-bred, well written and genuinely superiorâ mystery by the Diamond Dagger winner (Kirkus Reviews). Early one morning in the quiet English village of Larking, the body of a woman named Mrs. Jenkins is found in the road. Miles away, her daughter, Henrietta, receives the bad news while working in the university library. Poor Mrs. Jenkins appears to have been the victim of a horrible car accident. When an autopsy proves not only that this was no accident but also that Mrs. Jenkins had never had a child, young Henriettaâs life is thrown upside down. If sheâs not Mrs. Jenkinsâs daughter, then who is she? Itâs up to Detective Inspector C. D. Sloan of the Calleshire police force to bring the murderer to justiceâand a sense of order back to Henriettaâs life. Proclaimed by the New York Times in 1968 to be one of the yearâs best books, Henrietta Who? is a first-order English whodunit thatâll keep you guessing until the end.
