Pete, you and I are operating on remarkably similar wavelengths! I discovered James Anderson and his “Alderley” books a few years ago, and I love them. The other titles are just as good: The Affair of the Mutilated Mink and The Affair of the Thirty-Nine Cufflinks.

It is a shame there are only three books, as Inspector Wilkins is an endearing and comical creation. I think the author sadly passed away before he could write any more. I believe I read somewhere that as well as detective fiction, he wrote episodes of Murder, She Wrote. Not my cup of tea, but his trio of country house murder mysteries are wonderful. I thoroughly recommend them. If you have Audible and like audiobooks, those are superb, too. The narrator brings the characters alive.

I wonder where the secret passage in the linen closet comes out, or does that give the murderer away?
