About the Author
Born in Edinburgh in 1906, the son of the city's Director of Education, John Innes Mackintosh Stewart wrote a highly successful series of mystery stories under the pseudonym Michael Innes. Innes was educated at Oriel College, Oxford, where he was presented with the Matthew Arnold Memorial Prize and named a Bishop Frazer's scholar. After graduation he went to Vienna, to study Freudian psychoanalysis for a year and following his first book, an edition of Florio's translation of Montaigne, was offered a lectureship at the University of Leeds. In 1932 he married Margaret Hardwick, a doctor, and they subsequently had five children including Angus, also a novelist. The year 1936 saw Innes as Professor of English at the University of Adelaide, during which tenure he wrote his first mystery story, 'Death at the President's Lodging'. With his second, 'Hamlet Revenge', Innes firmly established his reputation as a highly entertaining and cultivated writer. After the end of World War II, Innes returned to the UK and spent two years at Queen's University, Belfast where in 1949 he wrote the 'Journeying Boy', a novel notable for the richly comedic use of an Irish setting. He then settled down as a Reader in English Literature at Christ Church, Oxford, from which he retired in 1973. His most famous character is 'John Appleby', who inspired a penchant for donnish detective fiction that lasts to this day. Innes's other well-known character is 'Honeybath', the painter and rather reluctant detective, who first appeared in 1975 in 'The Mysterious Commission'. The last novel, 'Appleby and the Ospreys', was published in 1986, some eight years before his death in 1994. 'A master - he constructs a plot that twists and turns like an electric eel: it gives you shock upon shock and you cannot let go.' - Times Literary Supplement.

Plot not main attraction
By Lawrence Hamel
The plot of this story may be a little odd but the writing is superb, the characters delightful, and the dialogue witty.

More farce than bloodshed
By ealovitt
Sir John Appleby, lately retired from Scotland Yard is tapped to give a speech at a mystery writers' dinner club in London, the 'Diner Dupin,' at which he is briefly introduced to Priscilla Pringle, author of such titles as "Poison at the Parsonage" and "Revenge at the Rectory." Miss Pringle's friend, a romance author attempts to get Priscilla to tell Sir John of a disturbing incident on the train into London, but Miss Pringle shies off. Appleby is left with only a confused memory of the meeting:
"'The magenta one was anxious that the salmon-pink one should tell me some interesting anecdote.' Appleby just perceptibly hesitated. 'There was to be a railway journey in it, and a retired soldier. But the salmon-pink one rather shut the other one up.'"
Little does Appleby know that he will encounter Miss Pringle and her mysterious retired soldier, deep in darkest Wiltshire, in a case involving blackmail, various unsavoury goings-on, and possibly even murder.
All of Michael Innes' Appleby mysteries abound with eccentric (although highly literate) characters and some of the novels, such as "Appleby's Answer" tend more toward farce than bloodshed. This author takes stock characters from the British mystery genre and twists them just a bit out of true: the horse-crazy country gentry; the genteel, middle-aged authoress of shocking mysteries; and a couple of British school boys, who could have been plucked from "Lord of the Flies."
Appleby's long-suffering wife, Judith makes fun of her husband's propensity to involve himself in the criminal affairs of mere acquaintances:
"'John's answers to such problems are invariably correct. It was a saying, as a matter of fact, at Scotland Yard.' Outrageous invention was occasionally one of Judith's amusements. '"Appleby's Answer," they used to say. It became proverbial.'"
Michael Innes (John Innes Mackintosh Stewart) was born in Edinburgh, educated at Oxford, and taught English in universities all over the world. His scholarly career includes works on Rudyard Kipling and Joseph Conrad, but he is better known as the creator of Inspector John Appleby, whose exploits inspired a lasting vogue for literary (and literate) mysteries.
