| Retired tax inspector G. D.H. Pringle should have known better than to return to his roots in the ancient village of Wuffinge Parva in East Anglia. When a runaway hearse bearing a victim of peculiar circumstances careens into his car--only the first of many mishaps that befall him--Pringle begins to regret having made this pilgrimage. The charming old town of his memory has changed in many ways and is rapidly becoming a tourist mecca. Restaurant and hotel prices have skyrocketed, and some of the newcomers clearly have rubbed some of the old locals the wrong way. And now there s a festival being planned to celebrate the unveiling of newly discovered Saxon wall paintings, rumored to be the oldest Christian paintings in England. Amidst the excitement and tension surrounding the festival, including an evening of drunken revelry, Pringle stumbles upon the body of one of the festival organizers. And by the time file local authorities of this sleepy village arrive at the scene, the body has disappeared. Shocking revelations, misplaced corpses, sexual misconduct, and another murder lead Pringle and his beloved companion, Mavis Bignell, into the thick of the mayhem in Parva, in this delightful addition to Pringle s adventures. |
