Guy Cullingford was a pseudonym of woman crime writer Constance Lindsay Taylor who wrote bunch of classic murder mysteries. This one is particularly unusual, being a tale of dysfunctional family whose father performed suicide, and now his ghost is observing the inquest, funeral and in itself is becoming some kind of ethereal sleuth. There is quite dreamlike poetry in musings of ghost and family itself is quite unconvential.
