H. C. Bailey 
Garston Murder Case [EPUB ebook] 

The Garston Murder Case, first published in 1930, is the first book in author H. C. Bailey’s series featuring hymn-singing criminal lawyer Joshua Clunk, who investigates stolen industrial secrets and a string of murders on the palatial estate of the Garston family and in the surrounding villages. Along the way, the viewpoints of Scotland Yard’s Superintendent Bell, a local police inspector, a Jane Eyre-like nurse, and a young student are also presented, making The Garston Murder Case a classic example of a ‚Golden Age‘ British mystery. Prolific H. C. Bailey (1878-1961) was also author of the popular ‚Mr. Fortune‘ detective series.
