My first Tommy and Tuppence story. An elderly happily married couple who get into some pickles. This story about the aging Aunt Ada and them meeting Mrs Lancashire in her retirement home starts an adventure. Tuppence looks for and finds a house by a canal in a painting there aunt leaves them. The house has some strange inhabitants and Tuppence is curious about the house history and gets drawn into a mystery with a surprise ending.

Criminal gangs, child murders, a secret room, jewels and some odd ...more

A very good outing for T&T; a nice domestic mystery vs international intrigue. They are feeling their age and their grown children worry for their safety. Hugh Fraser does his normal excellent job as narrator.
