In a quaint English village, everyone knows everyone—or so they think.Dr Robert Mansbridge is a well-respected man who loves his wife, Editha, despite her shrewish reputation. But when Editha is found dead from an apparent drug overdose, whispers quickly turn to suspicion. Behind the village’s unassuming façade lie secrets and hidden desires, and before long, Robert becomes the number-one suspect in a murder investigation.As unexpected truths begin to unravel, the question soon becomes was there anyone in the village who didn’t want Editha dead?First published in 1956, The Lord Have Mercy explores how speculation can be just as dangerous as murder.
