Draycott-Murder-Mystery
A stormy night. A seemingly deserted farmhouse
in the north of England. A young farmer returns
to find a well- dressed woman seated at his desk,
dead from a gunshot wound. John Leslie is
completely mystified. Who is she? The police
identify her as Mrs. Draycott, a visitor to the
area. And since John cannot provide a plausible
alibi, he is charged with her murder.Luckily for
him, famed barrister Sir Edward Kean and
Allen 8220Hater8221Fayre, both friends of
John8217saristocratic fianc233e believe in
his innocence and are determined to help him.
Fayre, recently returned from a career in India,
has the time to follow up on the meager clues at
his disposal. These involve a tramp, a mysterious
car, a bad-tempered doctor, and a pen.
Complicating matters is the decidedly unsavory
past of the much-married Mrs. Draycott. But as
Sir Edward points out, Fayre is an amateur, and
deciphering which clues are pertinent to
discovering the murderer is tricky business.Molly
Thynne produced six detective novels in her
career during the genre8217sGolden Age. The
Draycott Murder Mystery is her first and her
spot-on depiction of the upper classes in her
novels came from personal experience. A wealthy
descendant of the Marquess of Bath and the
painter James Whistler, Thynne8217sliterary
career spanned the era between the
wars.Originally published in 1928.
