Psychoanalyst and detective Mrs Bradley advises her highly-strung friend, Hannibal Jones, to retreat to a quiet, rustic village to find rest and inspiration for his writing. Saxon Wall seems the perfect rural retreat, and Jones is quickly intrigued by the odd characters among the villagers, their pagan beliefs, and by the mystery surrounding Neot House, where a young couple died soon after the birth of their first child.
But when disagreements between the villagers and their vicar grow more malevolent, and a man is found bludgeoned to death, Jones calls in Mrs Bradley, who proceeds to root out the devil of Saxon Wall by her own unorthodox methods.

Ably assisted by her resolute and energetic nephew Carey, and by the young and enterprising solicitor to the author's family, she finds herself battling Nazis, nudists and gun-toting motorcyclists in equal numbers; unmasking the reason behind a sudden craze for wearing false beards; and the origin of several dismembered human body parts, which begin to appear in a variety of increasingly peculiar locations. All before eventually arriving at the case's unexpected and surreal climax.

It is the early months of the Second World War and the inhabitants of the provincial town of Willington are just coming to terms with the idea of petrol shortages, rationing, and the occasional air-raid warning. The last thing they expect is for three mysterious corpses to appear More... in their midst on the same, rainy autumn night. The mystery is compounded by the apparent motiveless nature of the crimes and the absence of any obvious link between the victims: one, a notable town councilor: the second, a young A.R.P. volunteer; and the third, an unidentified drowning case. The youthful Inspector Stailard is baffled and it requires the saurian intervention of Mrs. Bradley to unravel the complex web of deceit and to uncover a particularly peculiar motive behind the murders. The humour and energy of Brazen Tongue, which are a hallmark of every Gladys Mitchell novel, will delight her established body of enthusiasts, and will introduce a lesser-known work from a masterly Golden Age writer to a new generation of crime fiction fans.

An anonymous letter evokes memories for Mrs. Bradley of a past criminal investigation, in which she had played a minor role in convicting a particularly unpleasant murderer and Satanist. The letter, too, provides a link to a sudden spate of gruesome and ritualistic murders occurring in the normally tranquil surroundings of the Norfolk Broads and, not for the first time, Mrs. Bradley finds herself drawn into a race to track down a killer. Aided by her nephew Jonathan, and only occasionally hampered by her three former pupils -- Laura, Kitty and Alice -- Mrs. Bradley takes to the myriad waterways where she is pitted against a dark occultist sect, a deadly line in knitwear and a plot to dismantle an ancient monument, and where she finds herself the object of a long-harboured plan for revenge.

It's the height of the Second World War, and Mrs. Bradley is working overtime as a doctor at a rest shelter for air raid casualties and displaced persons. With all the present mortality around them, the staff hardly needs another dead body, yet they find one in the form of a two-year old corpse, packed into a makeshift coffin and clothed in a now tattered dressing gown. The dead man's identity and appearance in the shelter are a mystery; the coffin/crate wasn't noticed in the basement room on the previous day. Mrs. Bradley realizes that the story really begins in the days before the war, and confides her tale to Detective Inspector Pirberry.
