"Murder Murder Help Help Murder "

The setting is Considine Manor in Sussex, where Sir Charles is holding his annual Cricket Week. But the house-party is marred by the discovery of a dead body in the billiard room, not to mention the fact that Lady Considine's pearls have been stolen. Can Inspector Baddeley catch the criminal, or will it take the super-sleuth Anthony Lotherington Bathurst to discover the diabolical truth?

The Billiard-Room Mystery was originally published in 1927. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Steve Barge.

"A classic of its type" Nottingham Herald

"A very good yarn . . . off the usual lines and most ingeniously contrived" Bystander
