Murder Most Distressing
No-nonsense Mary Lou Stockbridge, runt of an old New England family, brings evidence to the Hampford, Mass., police that Great Aunt Eunice has been murdered. The various family members, suspects all, react in a typical Brahmin way: they are embarrassed at the notoriety. Chief Henderson and Sergeant Putnam, half of the small Berkshires town's police force, must deal with a houseful of eccentrics, high-priced lawyers, an aggressive state cop and a clutch of nasty family retainers.
