The victim is a member of a tour group of Americans on a two week course on ‘Great Houses of Britain'. The murdered woman, with her barbed tongue, has upset just about everyone in her party so there is no shortage of suspects. The second story in the book is called I, Richard" and the main character his a self proclaimed writer and historian specializing in proving that King Richard III was not responsible for the deaths of the princes in the tower. Apart from being engrossed in his chosen subject he is manipulating a lover to murder her husband to serve his ends. In story three, "The Surprise of His Life", Douglas Armstrong convinces himself, with the help of a psychic, that his wife is having an affair and he carefully plans her murder.
