On a foggy night in Hampstead, London, a party has gathered in an artist's studio to weather the wartime blackout. A civil servant and a government scientist match wits in a game of chess while Bruce Manaton paints the portrait.

In the kitchen, Rosanne Manaton prepares tea for the charlady of Mr Folliner. When the murder of 'Old Mr. F' is discovered by his Canadian infantryman nephew, it's not long before Inspector Macdonald of Scotland Yard is called to the scene. But even at first glance the case looks far from black-and-white. Macdonald and the CID set to work separating the players from the pawns to shed light on this toppling of a lonely king in the dead of night.

I very much enjoyed this story. As always, McDonald does not disappoint. The characters are well developed and I loved the narration. I’m running out of Audible versions of Lorac novels 😳.

Classic ECR Lorac

Opens with a scene that could have been written for the theater. Possibly some readers found this a bit odd but I felt that it worked quite well. McDonald was his usual highland self and I could not find much fault with his performance either. The plot was no more unrealistic than most detective plots from this era. The wartime mood with blackouts and so on seemed right to me. Al very good book in my opinion and the reading quite enjoyable.

As good as the other Loracs!

A classic English mystery, set in a historically interesting time in the middle of WW2. Appreciated that the reader gave the Canadian character an actual Canadian accent

In the midst of WWII England, blackouts, fog, murder, theft and a fist full of unbreakable alibis. Another great Lorac story beautifully performed by Thorpe. Highly recommended.

Inspector MacDonald solves the case with his wits and his ability as a rock climber. Liked some, not all, of the characters.

Clever mystery

I enjoyed two other novels by this author, especially Murder By Matchlight but this one was irritating and ultimately not entertaining at all. I was glad to end it. The plot is too implausibly complicated and the characters uniquely unlikeable. The Inspector is really no more than a subtitle. Not recommended.
