Storyline
| Plot Summary |
When vicar's son Bobby Jones and Dr. Alwyn Thomas play a round of golf, Bobby slices his ball over the edge of a cliff. His ball is lost, but on the rocks below he finds the crumpled body of a dying man. With his final breath the man opens his eyes and gasps, 'Why didn't they ask Evans?' Becoming convinced the man's death may have been a murder, Bobby and his socialite friend Lady Frances "Frankie" Derwent set about solving the mystery. Written by Canon y mus |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The character Frankie calls Bobby by the nickname "Steve," explaining that she has always thought of him that way for reasons she can't explain. In the original novel she only calls him Steve once, as part of the phrase, "I get you, Steve," which was a somewhat common saying at the time and can be seen in various novels from the early 20th century, including Dorothy L. Sayers' "The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club" from 1928, and the 1912 novel "Officer 666" by Augustin McHugh. The origin of this saying appears to be lost. See more » |
