Read by Gordon Griffin

Noel Wells, curate in the sleepy village of Saltmarsh, likes to spend his
time dancing in the study with the vicar.s niece until one day the vicar.s
unpleasant wife discovers her unmarried housemaid is pregnant and trouble
begins. It is left to Noel to call for the help of sometime-detective and
full-time Freudian Mrs Bradley, who sets out on an unnervingly unorthodox
investigation into the mysterious pregnancy, an investigation that also
takes in a smuggler, the village lunatic, a missing corpse, a public pillory,
an exhumation and, of course, a murderer. Mrs. Bradley is easily one of
the most memorable personalities in crime fiction and in this classic
whodunit she proves that some English villages can be murderously peaceful.
