I have just submitted Scales of Justice by Ngaio Marsh. I proofed it before
submitting, so it needs little work. All page numbers have been moved to the
tops of pages.
As always, the synopsis doesn't do justice to the book. It is funnier and more
suspenseful than the synopsis shows. Here it is, though.
Just as Rose Cartarette and Dr. Lacklander decide to become engaged, Sir Harold
Lacklander dies. He turns his revised memoirs over to Col. Cartarette on his
deathbed. The Lacklander family is frantic to stop Col. Cartarette from
publishing them, which he maintains he is honor- and duty-bound to do. He is
stopped when he is found murdered. Chief Inspector Alleyn of Scotland Yard is
called in to investigate. Suspects include George Lacklander, new head of the
family, Octavius Danberry-Phinn, owner of many cats, who has had differences
with the colonel over fishing rights leased from the Lacklander family, with
whom Phinn also is not at ease, a retired Naval commander who gets drunk and
indulges in archery, Kitty Cartarette, the wife of the colonel, and Lady
Lacklander, whose shooting stick and rag with blood on it are found near the
scene.
I hope somebody enjoys it!
