George Jeffries is courier on a coach tour of Scotland. It is fortunate that the important facts preceding the crime have been recorded in letters to his fiancee Em. And fortunate too that Em is staying with Mrs Bradley while Laura Menzies (Bradley's Amazonian secretary, familiar to Gladys Mitchell aficiandos in other novels) is on holiday.
With her usual mix of Freudian analysis, word association, literary allusion, contemptuous interviewing technique ('Think it out, child') and amiable amoral detachment, Mrs Bradley knows who 'did it' well before anyone else.

Most people overlooked the sullen deaf-mute teenager Francis Caux…until he led police to the scene of a murder. It was psychoanalyst and detective Mrs. Beatrice Lestrange Bradley who found a clever way to communicate with Francis, thus learning that his recent fear of water stemmed from a body chained to the underside of a boathouse dinghy. But how did Francis know the location of the body? Even more puzzling is the discovery of a second murder linked to another Caux teen, Derek, in a nearby village. Mrs. Bradley suspects that the teenage Caux boys are somehow related, and soon must consider the possibility that they are coconspirators…in murder.
The beloved eccentric detective Mrs. Bradley pieces together details from a tragic past and a troubling present in this delightfully deceptive classic mystery.

Merlin's Castle, Merlin's Furlong -- it's no wonder the three undergraduates off on a lark end up in the wrong place when they set out to retrieve the valuable diptych which old Professor Havers, a dabbler in witchcraft, believes was stolen from him by rival collector, the odious Mr. Aumbrey. When they eventually find the right place, they discover Aumbrey's dead body instead of the icon, and have a lot of explaining to do to the police. Meanwhile, Aumbrey had recently revised his will in favor of his impoverished poet nephew Richmond, making him a prime suspect in the murder, although his other three nephews insist no one knew of the change. It's a knotty problem indeed for Mrs. Bradley, and right up her alley, with her fondness for unruly students and all things macabre.

Dame Beatrice Adela Lestrange Bradley has been asked to deliver the opening day speech for the Seahampton Grammar School. Before opening day, Laura Gavin, Dame B.'s secretary, learns of the suspicious death of a riding stable owner, and the duo investigate. John Mapsted's body was found early in the morning in one of the horse stables, his skull smashed. The horse in the stable made a commotion at six a.m., but the doctor concluded the time of death near midnight. Also, what would Mapsted be doing in the stables at that hour?
Laura can't believe the horse--a tempermental but nonviolent creature--could have killed Mapsted. The stablehand, Jenkinson, claims there was blood on the horse's hoof, but he says he immediately washed away the evidence. Further questioning proves complicated: Jenkinson turns up dead at the school's opening day ceremonies, sprawled funereally among a display of daffodils and grape-hyacinths in the gymnasium. A teacher's disappearance, a blood-stained mallet from the art department, a bit of airport smuggling and a run-in with a gipsy named Zozo keep Dame Beatrice and Laura busy.
