Jimmy Waghorn is with his friend Inspector Hanslet when they visit the scene of what appears to be an odd accident. A man has been killed by an explosion of his shotgun. His father's reaction to his death is likewise odd - not worrying because the tower on the property is still standing. Of course, it turns out that there is much more going on than it seems. I kept wondering how this was billed as a Dr. Priestly book when for the first 3/4, he barely appears, but his explanation of events was very interesting and then I could see his appeal.
I enjoyed the book, but the pace seemed very slow and it took me a while to finish, because I think I just needed bits of breaks yet NOT because I wasn't enjoying it - it is hard to explain.
In all, I did enjoy it and found it satisfying but more sedate maybe...
