Deadly Nightcap
By Francis Durbridge
March 2008
Disposing first of his brother-in-law, Jack enlists the help of his girlfriend in his plan to murder his wife. But his scheme goes horribly wrong and he, not his wife, ends up dead. There are so many possible suspects and motives that the truth eludes us all ... although Cliff seems to be on the right track.
The action takes place in Sarah and Jack Radford's house in East Sussex during the 1980s
