Overview
Ā
A beggarwoman on a bench arouses Albert Campionās curiosityāand helps Scotland Yard lure him into a case of family dysfunction. The seemingly destitute woman is none other than a member of the eccentric Palinode family, which has recently lost two of its members. The police suspect a poisoner is on the loose, which is why Campion is willing to go undercover as a lodger in the boardinghouse where they live.
Ā
As the recently deceased are exhumed, Campion becomes acquainted with the old-fashioned, out-of-the-ordinary family members, who talk in crossword puzzle clues, sneak out at night, and cook vats of stinky food in the basement to save money. And if thatās not enough to keep Campion on his toes, the local undertaker seems to be digging himself into a holeĀ .Ā .Ā .
