Clutch of Constables: Inspector Roderick Alleyn #25

A river cruise may be sunk by a ruthless criminal in this novel by “the doyenne of traditional mystery writers” (The New York Times).

Inspector Alleyn’s wife, the artist Agatha Troy, has a special fondness for Constables— the paintings, that is, not the policemen.

So she jumps at the chance to take a river cruise through “Constable Country” in the east of England, in honor of the nineteenth-century master of landscapes.
