Amelia Butterworth: Issue #1

That Affair Next Door

Plot

Another fascinating study in human motivations intertwined with bits and pieces of circumstantial evidence that at first make very little sense. True to Green’s style, she calls up and explains each motivation, each piece of evidence with mathematical precision until the mystery unravels and the perpetrator is punished in a most fitting fashion.

This book introduces the nosy society spinster Amelia Butterworth, the prototype for Miss Marple, Miss Silver and other creations.
