Mr Thompson falls ill and starts hallucinating, and Jessie Noyes appears to have some kind of innate psychic sensitivity and seems to be picking up evidence that one or more horrid crimes have been committed in the house. And there is a mysterious portrait that appears to be keeping an eye on all those present from its prominent position at the head of the stairs.
The difference is that Mitchell provides both an acerbic commentary on the conventions of cosy elements and an intriguing mystery puzzle that fulfills the expectations of the genre. There is plenty of mystery here, lots of melodrama and atmosphere, and a diverse cast of characters. They wonder if they’ve made a rash decision, one that may lead to their demise miraculously when they come upon a house, ring the bell and when receiving no answer find the door unlocked, no one home but a fire is burning.

He was educated privately and at Peterborough Lodge and one of his early jobs, from 1910 to 1920, was doing some editorial work for the Amalgamated Press. One thing which I hadn’t noticed on my first read and which did get on my wick slightly this time, was the role and personality allotted to Lydia, who came across as a too chipper Girl Guide on steroids, (mild exaggeration perhaps).
