About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
A moonlit night. A sleeping village. And an unaccountable murder...
An English bobbie returning from night patrol finds a corpse in evening dress locked in the stocks on the village green. He identifies the body immediately. Andrew Vereker was not a well-loved man, and narrowing down the suspects is not going to be an easy job. The Vereker family are corrupt and eccentric -and hardly cooperative ...
It's another case for the resourceful Superintendent Hannasyde, who sets off on the trail of a killer so cunning that even his consummate powers of detection are tested to their limits...

Critic Reviews
Praise for Georgette Heyer's mystery novels:
'We had better start ranking Heyer alongside such incomparable whodunit authors as Christie, Marsh, Tey and Allingham'
'Rarely have we seen humour and mystery so perfectly blended'
'Sharp, clear and witty'
'Heyer's characters and dialogue are an abiding delight to me ... I have seldom met people to whom I have taken so violent a fancy from the word "Go"'
'The wittiest of detective writers'
Death in the Stocks is that rare and refreshing thing - a clever problem stated, developed and finally solved in terms of character
Miss Heyer's characters act and speak with an ease that is as refreshing as it is rare in the ordinary mystery novel
