Book excerpt: A Scotland Yard detective is snowed in with a strange family and a killer with a lethal passion for literature in this classic British mystery. Something’s afoot in the village of Snarl. Incidents include animals turned to stone and ominous tombstones inscribed with deaths yet to come. Det. Insp. John Appleby is travelling by train from London to consult on the case. However, impending his arrival to his connecting train is a terrible snowstorm. Fortunately, a fellow passenger, encyclopedia author Everard Raven, invites Appleby to spend the night at his country estate. Appleby soon has second thoughts about accepting the offer. When they get off the train, they meet more of Raven’s relatives, and they are just as unusual as he is. Next, the station is alarmingly named “Appleby’s End.” And then one of the Ravens’ servants is found dead and buried up to their neck in snow . . . As Appleby investigates, he notices an unusual connection between the servant’s body, the mayhem at Snarl, and even his own arrival in the village. They all resemble scenes from the novels of Everard’s late father. Appleby must determine who is behind this bizarre plot before another member of the Raven household meets a literal end. Praise for Michael Innes & Appleby’s End “Mr. Innes is in a class by himself among detective story writers.” —The Times Literary Supplement “As farfetched and literary as Sayers.” —The Cambridge Companion to Crime Fiction “Quite a funny book.” —The New Yorker

Book excerpt: From a British Golden Age author “in a class by himself among detective story writers,” Scotland Yard Inspector Appleby helps a student solve a murder (The Times Literary Supplement). On holiday in the English countryside with his fellow university students, young David Henchman sets out alone for a hike across the moor. But instead of finding tranquil solitude, he stumbles upon a dead body. At first, David suspects suicide—until he spots a stranger on the moor. At the sound of gunfire, David flees for his life. Once Inspector Appleby heads to the moors, it seems as if Scotland Yard’s most respected detective might have the matter in hand. But things go south when Appleby discovers the corpse on the moor has been swapped with another dead body. With the investigation underway, are Appleby and David bound to become victims of some perilous game? Praise for Michael Innes and the Inspector Appleby series “Wickedly witty.” —Daily Mail “As farfetched and literary as Sayers.” —The Cambridge Companion to Crime Fiction

Book excerpt: Appleby's End was the name of the station where Detective Inspector John Appleby got off the train from Scotland Yard. But that was not the only coincidence. Everything that happened from then on related back to stories by Ranulph Raven, Victorian novelist - animals were replaced by marble effigies, someone received a tombstone telling him when he would die, and a servant was found buried up to his neck in snow, dead. Why did Ranulph Raven's mysterious descendants make such a point of inviting Appleby to spend the night at their house? Legendary character Inspector John Appleby of Scotland Yard inspired a lasting vogue for donnish detective fiction. Innes's detective novels are playfully highbrow and rich in allusions to English literature and to Renaissance art.
