Read the evidence. Study the suspects. Solve the case.
Mrs Constance Gilroy
The Ploughman's Rest, Lower Addersfield, Cotswolds — autumn 1925
A small country inn on the edge of a Cotswolds village, popular with ramblers and weekend visitors from London. Six letting rooms above a public bar and a private sitting room. An ornamental pond at the rear of the property, surrounded by flagstones and a low stone wall, fed by a spring. The nearest constable is in Stow-on-the-Wold, four miles away.
Drowning. Bruising on both shoulders consistent with being held face-down in the ornamental pond.
