Crime in Kensington

by Christopher St John Sprigg

Overview

"HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU THAT WE MUST APPEAR TO RUN THIS HOTEL AS A COMMERCIAL PROPOSITION?"

There is something amiss at the genteel Garden Hotel. New arrival Charles Venables overhears a threatening discussion between the proprietors. The prices are too low. The residents are jumpy. When the bedridden Mrs Budge disappears into thin air, it is clear that more than one inhabitant of the hotel has something to hide. A set of gruesome discoveries point to murder, and Charles must work with Detective Inspector Bray of Scotland Yard to prevent the killer from acting again.

About the Author

CHRISTOPHER ST JOHN SPRIGG (1907 - 1937)

Christopher St John Sprigg was a prolific writer who also published non-fiction under the pseudonym Christopher Cauldwell. Crime in Kensington was the first of seven crime novels Sprigg wrote between 1933 and his death in February 1937 during the Spanish Civil War. Out of print for over 75 years, it is a fine example of Sprigg’s quick wit and fluid style. Other books featuring sleuth Charles Venables – Fatality on Fleet Street, The Perfect Alibi, and Death of a Queen – are also available from Moonstone Press.
