The Tragedy at Siddlecombe Manor — Ruby Binns-Cagney
Not your typical mystery short story:
When a wealthy heiress mysteriously disappears from Siddlecombe Manor - seemingly from her lover's bed, Detective Inspector Blanchflower investigates.
With his trademark fedora and handsome sidekick Inspector Ferraud, Blanchflower is contacted by the woman's Father, who is incredibly desperate to find her.
Ferraud doesn't want to take on the case but Blanchflower insists that they have to track down the missing woman - although there is no apparent motive for her disappearance, and there are no indications she has been kidnapped and held for ransom, despite her publicly known wealth and status in Society.
Never one to turn away from a case, Blanchflower examines the woman's past to establish why she has disappeared, and what he finds is truly unexpected; it leads Blanchflower down a different path enabling him to reveal the real motives of the people in the woman's life and their connection to her disappearance.
Meanwhile, Inspector Ferraud considers the merits of his recent promotion, and why he's always a few steps behind Blanchflower in solving the case.
The dynamic between Blanchflower and Ferraud entertains without detracting from the mystery which only this duo can solve.
