Written in 1948 this is a British mystery with well developed characters, great sense of English village and a plot that developes around the question "where was the young girl for 1 month". While the series character Inspectory Alan Grant of Scotland Yard is in the book it is not really part of that series in my opinion. The main character is Robert Blair, village lawyer, who is presented with a possible criminal case and his process of becoming more involved in life during his defense of the two accused women. Many British vocabulary peculiarites add to the charm of the read.
