Murder for Pleasure A Coat of Varnish by RONALD MILLAR suggested by the novel by c. P. SNOW
The last case of Chief Supt Briers is a brutal murder in an elegant drawing-room in London SW1. Briers is determined to solve the case at any cost, and learns that there is not much between people and their darker motives - merely a coat of varnish.
