DEATH COMES TO CAMBERS

Police officer Bobby Owen is a weekend guest at Lady Cambers&rsquo,s majestic country pile, there to advise on security following recent burglary scares. But when the lady of the house disappears, her bed unslept-in, it&rsquo,s a case of murder not burglary &ndash, for Bobby discovers her ladyship, strangled, in a nearby field. One of the finest of the early Bobby Owens novels, Death Comes to Cambers combines wit and excellent characterization in a satisfying and classic whodunit, featuring an eccentric creationist, a superior archaeologist and an inventive cipher. Death Comes to Cambers is the sixth of E.R. Punshon&rsquo,s acclaimed Bobby Owen mysteries, first published in 1935 and part of a series which eventually spanned thirty-five novels. &ldquo,What is distinction? The few who achieve it step &ndash, plot or no plot &ndash, unquestioned into the first rank&hellip, in the works of Mr. E.R. Punshon we salute it every time.&rdquo, Dorothy L. Sayers_,
