Penny Dreadful (U)

Spotlights focused on the Abbey buildings. The air held a piece of silver moon. An oboe blew a soft pure note. Clear young voices broke into a madrigal... ...listening, in mellow mood, Max Maunciple drank just one gin too many. And died. An egotist, a blackmailer, no-one mourned for Maunciple. But one person did not believe that alcohol was the only poison that poisonous man had imbibed. And when Penny Wanawake seeks the Truth, the Truth, however elusive, gets dragged kick- ing and screaming into the open. Penny Dreadful is the second in the series of Penny Wanawake Mysteries
