Toll the Bell for Murder — George Bellairs
Inspector Littlejohn is once again summoned to the Isle of Man when a local vicar is accused of murder in this long-running British mystery series.
As a rule, the towns of the Isle of Man are eerily silent after dark. But that silence is shattered one black night by an explosion followed by the violent ringing of the church bell. The vicar, Sullivan Lee, is discovered praying beside the murdered body of Sir Martin Skollick. Archdeacon Kinrade must summon his old friend, Superintendent Littlejohn of Scotland Yard, to get to the bottom of another perplexing crime.
With the help of Inspector Knell of the Manx C.I.D., Littlejohn sheds light on the victim's life, uncovering misdeeds and enemies aplenty. A womanizer and a fraud, it's no wonder someone might want Skollick dead. But the inspectors have much more to unravel before they can clear the vicar's name.
