Description
Old Tom Ravensden comes from Paris to the small riverside town of Evening to live near his only relative, Silas Ravensden, and it soon becomes apparent that the marriage of this beloved nephew is far from being ideal.
Silas's exceptionally beautiful wife Sigtuna is something of an enigma. She has already had two husbands, and when her wealthy, crippled father dies suddenly Ravensden's suspicions are aroused.

Joan Fleming was one of the most original and literate crime writers of her generation. Born in Lancashire and educated at Lausanne University she became the wife of a Harley Street eye surgeon and mother of four, and was already a successful children's author before she turned to crime. She is the author of over thirty novels and won the CWA Gold Dagger in 1962 for When I Grow Rich and again in 1970 for Young Man, I Think You're Dying. The Deeds of Dr Deadcert was made into the 1958 film Rx for Murder.
