Husband and wife sleuths Tommy and Tuppence Beresford move into an old house in a placid English village. There, they stumble across a clue in a children's book that points to a murder committed years earlier -- a crime that puts their lives in danger. A murder someone doesn't want solved.
Review

Tommy and Tuppence Beresford have just become the proud owners of an old house in an English village. Along with the property, they have inherited some worthless bric-a-brac, including a collection of antique books. While rustling through a copy of The Black Arrow , Tuppence comes upon a series of apparently random underlinings.
However, when she writes down the letters, they spell out a very disturbing message: "Mary Jordan did not die naturally." And sixty years after their first murder, Mary Jordan's enemies are still ready to kill. . . .
