Just finished "Death of a Ghost", by Margery Allingham, the 6th book in the "Campion" series, and originally published in 1934.
At the former home of John Lafcadio, the great painter dead some 18 years, the annual ceremony to unveil a painting he left behind to keep his memory alive is interrupted by a murder. Suspicion falls on a family member, but with no proof the police are baffled. When murder once again visits "Little Venice", Albert Campion must exercise all his powers to bring the killer to justice...
An excellent book; for me, by far the best of the series thus far. Highly recommended.
