The stranger lives just long enough to murmur a single baffling question before he dies, and that question lodges itself in Bobby's mind. When an inquest swiftly closes the matter as an accident, Bobby is inclined to let it rest, until an attempt is made on his own life and the loose threads refuse to lie flat. Joined by his spirited childhood friend Lady Frances Derwent, known to everyone as Frankie, he sets out to make sense of the dying words and the curious people who seem connected to them. The two adopt disguises, stage a motor accident to gain entry to a suspicious household, and trade quick banter as the stakes climb from idle curiosity toward genuine peril. Wit and recklessness carry them where caution would not, and their amateur sleuthing brushes against forces far more dangerous than either anticipated. Working without a famous detective to guide them, Bobby and Frankie must rely on nerve, luck, and each other. Set among country houses, a nursing home, and the cliffs of the Welsh coast, the story moves at a brisk pace, balancing genuine menace with a light, conversational charm and a puzzle that keeps circling back to one teasing question.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz59hvmkkrx7fm91bjva5br.jpg","L6D9q[00T}E2N4ocoMWB0;WE]yjY",1935,252,[260],{"id":261,"slug":262,"name":263},"01kjq7prh50ekz5eybgdhd9q51","agatha-christie-t6d5","Agatha Christie",[265,266,270,274,275],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":20},{"id":267,"name":268,"slug":269,"is_fiction":20},44,"Crime","crime",{"id":271,"name":272,"slug":273,"is_fiction":20},58,"Classics","classics",{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":20},{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":278,"complexity":7,"audience":115,"mood":279,"themes":281,"setting_period":7,"summary":284,"content_warnings":7},"fast",[118,280],"adventurous",[282,283],"mystery-box","multiple-povs","A dying man found on a golf course leaves behind only one cryptic question: \"Why didn't they ask Evans?\" When his identity and the meaning of that phrase are lost to time, Bobby Jones and Lady Frances Derwent set out across England chasing clues through old photographs, forgotten addresses, and tangled family secrets.

But now that Joy is grown and gone, life has gotten far too quiet.\n\nWith a little cajoling from Madame, the Blend's flamboyant elderly owner, Clare agrees to return to her old job, and right from the start she gets one heck of a jolt.
