Money - or lack of it - can be, to certain members of society, a powerful motive for murder. Two sisters and a brother who were to share equally in their uncle's fortune had, each in their own way, urgent reasons for wanting money. But it was a comparative outsider - who also stood to benefit from the estate through his wife's inheritance - who contemplates the murder of their uncle. In great financial difficulty, his desperation urges him on to plan the crime with infinite care. An unexpected chance leads to an accomplice who provides a sound alibi, upon whose silence he can rely. As 'The Affair at Little Wokeham' unfolds, Chief Inspector French enters upon the scene and, through his painstaking investigation, the mystery is unravelled.
