Why should he even be bothered to solve the case?</strong></p><p>For its own very good reasons, Scotland Yard sends Dover off to remote Creedshire to investigate the disappearance of a young housemaid, Juliet Rugg. </p><p>Though there's every cause to assume that she has been murdered - she gave her favours freely and may even have stooped to a bit of blackmail - no body is to be found. Weighing in at sixteen stone, she couldn't be hard to overlook. </p><p>But where is she? And why should Dover, of all people, be called upon to find her? Or, for that matter, even bother to solve the damned case?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Something quite out of the ordinary." <strong><em>Daily Telegraph</em></strong></p><p>"Joyce Porter is a joy... Dover is unquestionably the most entertaining detective in fiction." <strong><em>Guardian</em></strong></p><p>"Plotted with the technique of a virtuoso." <strong><em>New York Times</em></strong></p><p>"Wonderfully funny." <strong><em>Spectator</em></strong></p><p> "Dover is wildly, joyously unbelievable; and may he remain so for our comic delight." <strong><em>Sun</em></strong></p><p>"You will be fascinated by his sheer dazzling incompetence. Porter has a keen eye, a wicked sense of comedy, and a delightfully low mind." <strong><em>Harper's</em></strong></p><br>
