Her Honour Judge Celia Kilby does not suffer fools gladly, and no-one is surprised when she receives an anonymous letter threatening her life. When she is found murdered suspects and motives abound, but means and opportunity remain elusive - until Rosa Epton accepts a client who confesses to being the letter writer.

Prolific British author and lawyer Underwood cleverly presents several suspects who want spiteful, standoffish Judge Celia Kilby dead. In addition to people who threatened her in court, they include her estranged illegitimate son, her secret Sussex lover, a wealthy divorcee, and a long-time, persistent-but-unrequited beau. Because the murderer carried out a threat sent in advance by letter, New Scotland Yard looks bad until Inspector Chantry locates the culprit. Entertaining, but few surprises. REK
