A classic British mystery, Slippery Ann is one of H.C. Bailey's celebrated Mr. Clunk series, featuring the unconventional solicitor Joshua Clunk — a wily, hymn-humming lawyer with a sharp instinct for injustice and an even sharper eye for deception. The novel chronicles a cunning web of crime, deceit, and moral ambiguity, as Clunk navigates a world of shady characters and slippery dealings with his trademark mix of shrewdness and theatrical piety. Bailey's writing presents a richly atmospheric portrait of interwar England, infused with dry wit and the intricate plotting that made him a titan of the Golden Age of detective fiction. A worthy companion to the works of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers, this entry in the series illustrates Bailey's mastery of the genre, delivering suspense and satisfaction in equal measure.
