"When his car breaks down on a deserted road, Sir John Appleby wanders up a drive in search of help. Suddenly, a palatial residence appears before him, its every window blazing. In the dining room, candles are lit, champagne is on ice, and dinner is waiting. But not a sound is heard. Anywhere." (from the back cover). Michael Innes sets a flawless fantasy of a mystery. Spare copy or I'd never let it go.
