Death Stops the Frolic

A church elder is the life of the party--but not for long--in this English village mystery by the author of the Inspector Littlejohn mysteries.

Zion Chapel's annual anniversary tea party is an opportunity for the typically stuffy and sanctimo-nious Alderman Harbuttle to loosen up, and this year he's unexpectedly rowdy. After a lot of laughter and loud singing, he starts to lead the parishioners in a conga line through the winding corridors. But the festivities turn fatal, and Superintendent Nankivell of the local police is soon stir-ring up some sinful secrets. . . .
