Mask of Sorrow Laurie Brady

Ed Grainger returns home from his History Club meeting to find his house swarming with police. His wife Lucy has been murdered. The police identify a number of suspects. Was it Lucy's recently jilted lover, her work colleague robbed of promotion, her lawyer with whom she had a brief affair, Ed's 'unhinged' and jealous stalker and her equally as jealous and bellicose husband, or the young malefactor wanting an inheritance pay-out. Or is it someone else? All is finally revealed. The story is told with an economy of prose and an insight into the human condition.
