'I'm a huge fan of Barbara Pym' RICHARD OSMAN 
 
 
 
'My favourite writer . . . I pick up her books with joy, as though I were meeting an old, dear friend' JILLY COOPER 
 
 
 
'The subtlest of her books . . . the sparkle on first acquaintance has been succeeded by the deeper brilliance of established art' PHILIP LARKIN 
 
 
 
Wilmet Forsyth is well dressed, well looked after, suitably husbanded, good-looking and fairly young - but very bored. Her staid husband Rodney, a civil servant, is slightly balder and fatter than he once was. Wilmet would like to think she has changed rather less. 
 
 
 
Her conventional life takes a turn when she meets the handsome brother of a close friend. Attractive, cultured and attentive, Piers Longridge is a delectable mystery Wilmet is determined to solve.
