Suicide excepted

About “Suicide excepted”

Inspector Mallett of the C.I.D. is on holiday at Pendlebury Old Hall, where he finds the accommodations, food, and service disappointing. The next day, a man who had been at the hotel, described as a boor whose family once owned the house, is found dead under circumstances suggesting suicide, prompting Mallett to investigate and uncover family passions and murder.
