Harry Devlin's latest case is intriguing him more and more. A client
has come to him requesting information about a divorce. He had tapped
his home phone and discovered that his wife is having an affair. Harry
is sure that he recognises the man's voice, but who is it? Also, who is
calling, but not talking?
Later Harry realises that the voice is that of a man who had spoken to
him about headhunting. He returns the call and speaks to the partner of
the firm who turns out to be the wife of the headhunter.
As the tapes progress, the wife of Harry's client suggests murdering her
husband to her lover. Harry wonders if this could possibly be related
to his client's recent food poisoning. Later, the client's wife, her
lover and his nanny are found murdered in his home. Harry spends some
time with his client, gathering material just in case he is charged with
the murders.
Author Martin Edwards offers up four possible suspects for the killings.
First and foremost, the cuckolded husband. Secondly, the wife of the
lover. Third, the brother of Harry's client, and lastly the former
husband of the client's wife. I was quite surprised at the ending of
this murder mystery. A very intriguing conclusion and a good read.
