Catt Out of the Bag

How, where and why was a man (a commercial traveller who turns out to be a polygamist) suddenly removed from a group of carol singers on that cold night. It appeared that someone else as well as Mrs de Frayn was a clever organizer; every cog in the machinery of this crime was smooth running, and as with a perfect machine, no flaw could be detected in the "finished" product, at least, until.. Catt Out of the Bag appeared first in 1939, one of 16 novels that the author put out with Hodder & Stoughton between 1937 and 1964. He died in 1968. Witting is now very collectible and is seen as one of the leading detective storywriters of the pre-war and immediate post war period. Most of his books were set in "Downshire" featuring Inspector Harry Charlton assisted by Peter Bradfield. Catt has a delightful traditional Christmas setting, is full of humour and will be a must for all fans of classic detective thrillers.
