Mrs. Malory returns to Taviscombe, England, only to discover that a devious doctor/landlord is trying to evict one of her elderly friends in order to build a profitable nursing home. When her friend turns up dead, it seems like a cut and dried case to the amateur sleuth. But soon she finds that things aren't as simple as they look, and even those she trusts have something to hide.

Alternative title Superfluous Death,

This review is from: Mrs. Malory Wonders Why (Mass Market Paperback)
Many of Hazel Holt's books have alternative titles, `Mrs Malory Wonders Why ` was originally titled `Superfluous Death', `Mrs Malory, Detective in Residence' was originally `Murder on Campus' and `Mrs Malory and the Only Good Lawyer' was `The Only Good Lawyer...' (the last subtly different!). -SW

By A Customer
This review is from: Mrs. Malory Wonders Why (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a lot better than many mysteries I've read recently. The main character is interesting, pleasant, and believable. I do wonder, sometimes, about the police in mystery novels, so ready to let a relative or friend in on the police work, even before following police procedures. It would be nice if the police in these mysteries were also believable.
