About this book

In The Unexpected Legacy, master storyteller E.R. Punshon delivers another elegant and absorbing mystery, brimming with atmosphere, complex characters, and the quiet tension that defines the best of Golden Age crime fiction. With his trademark intelligence and attention to detail, Punshon explores how the past never truly stays buried—and how legacies can be both a blessing and a curse. The story begins with the sudden death of a wealthy recluse, whose long-forgotten will reveals an astonishing twist: a mysterious heir, previously unknown to the family, is named as the main beneficiary. As curiosity turns to suspicion and old resentments surface, a second, more sinister event shakes the already uneasy household. Who is the newcomer—and what secrets lie behind this unexpected inheritance? Though The Unexpected Legacy does not feature Punshon's famous detective Bobby Owen, it remains a shining example of his craft: a slow-burning mystery where psychological insight and social nuance are as vital as the clues themselves. The novel immerses the reader in a world of shifting loyalties, veiled motives, and quiet menace. E.R. Punshon was praised by Dorothy L. Sayers for writing crime novels that offer "not only the puzzle, but the novel as well." The Unexpected Legacy lives up to that standard—combining mystery and literary depth in a tale that is as compelling as it is unexpected. A hidden gem for lovers of classic British mysteries.
