The latest installment in Lynne Truss's prize-winning murder mystery series set in 1950s Brighton sees her trio of police detectives investigating a case with a most curious murder weaponb

The August bank holiday is approaching and after two extrely high-profile murder cases, Constable Twitten is eagerly anticipating a quiet spell at work. But then they find the bodies ' and the milk bottles.

Three seingly unconnected victims ' a hard-working AA patrolman, a would-be Beauty Queen, a catty BBC radio personality ' have all been killed with the same, highly unusual murder weapon. Constable Twitten, Sergeant Brunswick and Inspector Steine are initially baffled, the town is alarmed, and the local newspaper is delighted: after all, what sells papers better than a killer on the loose?

Can our redoubtable trio solve the case and catch this most curious of killers before they strike again?
