Justin Emery hasn't seen his friend Grace DeLong for six years. And when he
does, his visit coincides with murder.
Arnold Thaine is found shot dead in the studio attached to his house. Shot three times,
the forth bullet embedded in one of his many clocks.
Who had a motive to kill Thaine? Was it the woman in the brown mackintosh, or the woman in
the scarlet coat? Both were seen leaving the studio on that afternoon. Or was it someone
else entirely? If only the clocks had been set correctly, the time of his death could
provide a vital clue to the killer's identity.
What began as a trip down memory lane for Justin and Grace becomes a twisted and cryptic
investigation into an apparently motive-less murder.

hitting often on intriguing situations, is her portrayal of people"The Sunday

Enough
to Kill a Horse
Constable November 1995
Elizabeth Ferrars needs no introduction to crime fiction readers. She has delighted them
with over seventy books. Enough to Kill a Horse, first published in 1955, is one of
her best. Not only has it a very clever plot, but it displays the firmly delineated
setting and detached amusement in the characterisation which readers have come to expect
from an author who has been described as the closest of all to the great Agatha Christie
in style, plotting and general milieu.
