The Paradise Mystery - J. S. Fletcher

. .

Résumé :
There is no place in England where the likelihood of old-world peace is more equitable. There is a constant aura of relaxation here, whether it be in the morning, midday, or evening. This atmosphere extends beyond the enormous cathedral to the charming and historic homes that round the Close. One would assume that nothing else than a leisured and contented existence could dwell beneath those tall gables, behind those mullioned windows, and in the lovely old gardens tucked between the stone porches and the elm-shadowed grass.Pemberton Bryce had a habit of entering a room as though the person inside was asleep and was frightened to wake him. It was a very upsetting event when Pemberton Bryce's death was investigated in Wrychester Cathedral. Mary Bewery observed that her guardian's concern at the incident in Paradise was unusual. When she questioned him about the facts, he felt awkward and even irritated when she inquired about his professional details. Ransford had left for town, and Mary Bewery had gone inside the home to wait for him. She intended to inform him of all Bryce had said and implored him to make things right. She continued to watch out the dining room window for him nonetheless.
