The Footsteps at the Lock | Ronald Knox

1 post | 1 read

At first sight the case looks simple enough to private investigator Miles Bredon. Two cousins on a boat trip on the River Thames: Derek with a £50,000 reason for surviving the next two months until he inherits a legacy; Nigel with a £50,000 reason for getting rid of him and inheriting the money himself. When Derek disappears, Nigel naturally falls under suspicion - not least because he has a train of alibis that is almost too perfect. But where is the body? And if this is not murder, whose is the photograph of a body slumped in a boat, and who left the wet footprints at the lock?

Originally published in 1928. Dover Books, my copy, republished in 1983. I‘ve wanted this book for years and it is very hard to come by. Had it in my wishlist at Paperbackswap never dreamed I‘d get a copy! But I did! It was slow starting for me. I almost quit. Thank goodness I didn‘t because I ended up really enjoying it! His writing is very descriptive with lovely words. More plot driven than character, which is why it was slow for me. Excellent!
