Appleby's End

Appleby’s End sends Inspector John Appleby into one of Innes’s most playful and atmospheric mysteries, centred on a remote village dominated by the eccentric Raven family. Strange coincidences, literary riddles, and a series of increasingly bizarre events draw Appleby into a puzzle where past and present seem to blur. Innes blends country-house whimsy with intellectual mischief, creating a mystery that is as much about storytelling itself as it is about crime. A desirable title for collectors of Golden Age-style detective fiction and Innes’s more imaginative, off-beat novels.
