Author Description

Murder doesn’t take a holiday. J.J. Connington, a revered name in detective fiction, masterfully weaves a complex puzzle with his signature dry wit in Mystery at Lynden Sands. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes, this 1928 novel is the third installment in the beloved Sir Clinton Driffield series, featuring the brilliant and eccentric chief constable known for his sharp deductions and unconventional methods. Synopsis When a murdered caretaker and a suspicious burglary rock the charming seaside town of Lynden Sands, Chief Constable Sir Clinton Driffield finds his idyllic golfing holiday interrupted. As whispers of a missing heir, a possible imposter, and a tangled web of concealed marriages entangles him in an increasingly complex investigation, the Chief Constable must navigate a treacherous landscape of hidden agendas and buried secrets. Can Driffield expose the real killer before another life is lost? Preview “Sir Clinton had trained himself to observe minutely without betraying that he was doing so; and he had a habit of mentally docketing the results of his scrutiny. Mannerisms were the points which he studied with most attention. As Cressida Fleetwood came slowly towards them, his apparently casual glance took in mechanically the picture of a dark-haired girl still in her twenties, slim and graceful; but his attention fastened mainly on a faint touch of shyness which added to her charm; and in the expression of her eyes he believed he read something more uncommon. It seemed as though a natural frankness had been overlaid by a tinge of mistrust in the world.” A Modern Reprint At Airleas Publishing we take every step possible to maintain the integrity and quality the author of Mystery at Lynden Sands intended.
