DEATH AND THE PLEASANT VOICES by Mary Fitt

DEATH AND THE PLEASANT VOICES

By

Pub Date: April 25th, 1947
Publisher: Putnam

A novel of crime in which half Indian Hugo, returning to the house and fortune left him by the whimsical will of a British father, meets the antagonism of English Ursula and Jim, children of a second marriage. Their emotional entanglements, the imposture of Hugo and the murder of the real Hugo, the possible re-willing of the estate to an outsider, lead to a second death, the self-betrayal and suicide of the killer. A leisurely but practised performance.
