Thou Shell of Death

Rating:
Summary: one of the best English mysteries sadly out of print
Review: A twentieth-century version of 'The Revenger's Art', a dying aviator invites the people he hates most to his estate for Christmas. When he is found murdered, the guests are put under house arrest and start dying. The aviator has planned their deaths from beyond the grave and the hero has to race against the clock to solve the mystery and save the victims. Beautiful.
