Product Description
Lewis Packford, the great Shakespearean scholar, was thought to have discovered a book annotated by the Bard - but there is no trace of this valuable object when Packford apparently commits suicide. Sir John Appleby finds a mixed bag of suspects at the dead man's house, who might all have a good motive for murder. The scholars and bibliophiles who were present might have been tempted by the precious document in Packford's possession. And Appleby discovers that Packford had two secret marriages, and that both of these women were at the house at the time of his death.

Rachel's M'dai - rachelsmdai (Canada) (2007/11/22):
It's a good classic mystery set in Britain - Sir John Appleby is the protagonist. If you like the genre, you'll like this book.
Here's from the back cover:
Sir John Appleby was suspicious of the suicide of Louis Packford. Packford had left a note on a card reading: "A Long Farewell." And Appleby discovered that this rare volume was missing from Packford's library. Might the disappearance of this volume, Appleby wondered, be involved with the old scholar's death, surrounded as he had been by rival professors, bitterly contending rare book dealers, and even, as Appleby was astonished to discover, by two wives?
