{"product_id":"9781616461140","title":"The Castleford Conundrum","description":"\"One of the very best of the Connington country house mysteries . . . is The Castleford Conundrum. In this tale the author does an extremely effective job of portraying an odious, stupid woman, Winifred Castleford, and her detestable, sponging in-laws. Even her seemingly sympathetic second husband, Philip Castleford, is offhandedly dismissed with contempt by Clinton Driffield as a cringing weakling. Only Philip's daughter (and Winifred's stepdaughter), Hillary, is portrayed by the author with real sympathy. If one desires to read a novel with a houseful of scheming, contemptible relations and a cleverly arranged murder of the one person with all the money-and what fan of classical English mystery does not-one could not do better than to choose The Castleford Conundrum.\" (From the Introduction.)","brand":"Coachwhip Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47063660593392,"sku":"9781616461140","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781616461140_p0.jpg?v=1763852628","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781616461140","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
