Description:The Bowstring Murders is
a fast, realistic tale, with a fascinating group of characters. Against
the dusty, historic background of Bowstring Castle, Carter Dickson
plays out a tormentingly puzzling mystery to an exciting yet logical
end.
Beginning with a corpse found strangled in a room where the
dust at the windows is undisturbed and the door was watched, a household
of strangely assorted men and women watch a succession of tragic
murders, helpless, unable to do anything until, in a thrilling climax,
John Gaunt, a detective of the old school, solves the mystery of the
missing gauntlets and the stolen bowstring.
