Crime in Kensington

There is something amiss at the genteel Garden Hotel. New arrival Charles Venables overhears a threatening discussion between the proprietors. The prices are too low. The residents are jumpy. When the bedridden Mrs Budge disappears into thin air, it becomes clear that more than one inhabitant of the hotel has something to hide. A set of gruesome discoveries points to murder, and Charles must work with Detective Inspector Bray of Scotland Yard to prevent the killer from acting again.
