In one volume, here are three of Ellis Peters' engrossing classic whodunnits.
In 'City Of Gold And Shadows', when Alan Morris disappears, his great-niece Charlotte goes to the Welsh border to visit the Roman site where he had spent so much time. There she runs headlong into a series of mysterious happenings that involve Detective Chief Inspector Felse having to solve a puzzle whose roots go back to ancient Roman times . . .
In 'Flight Of A Witch', Annet Beck disappears from the Hallowmount, an historic border site with an eerie reputation. When she returns, she swears she's been away a mere two hours, though there is irrefutable evidence she has been gone for five days. What is the explanation? Deliberate deceit? Amnesia? Or witchcraft? Only when George Felse connects those missing five days with a murder enquiry does the truth emerge . . .
And in 'Funeral Of Figaro', World-class baritone Marc Chatrier seems like the answer to a prayer when he steps in to sing Figaro in the Leander Theatre's production of Mozart's well-loved classic. But a shocking murder causes Detective Inspector Musgrave, himself an aggressive Mozart buff, to delve into the past for clues to the person responsible for the funeral of Figaro.
