|summary=Murderous intent in the Vail country house follows when a fabled family heirloom is discovered on the eve of the latest Lord Vail's 21st birthday. From the author of the Mapp and Lucia series, this is a light and easy read - for those who like their crime 'puzzling' rather than 'gut-wrenching'.

''The sequestered village of Vail lies in a wrinkle of the great Wiltshire downs, and is traversed by the Bath Road.'' Of course the big inn is called ''The Vail Arms'' and about a mile from the village is ''the big house''. Benson doesn't name the house – indeed it wouldn't have needed a name. Locally it would just be known as the big house, and any local delivery person would know where to deposit any attached to Lord Vail.
