Caroline Graham is perhaps the only classic of the English detective story of modern times, almost unknown to Russian readers. Meanwhile, it is she who is called in England the direct literary heir of Agatha Christie, and it is based on her novels that one of the most popular detective television series in the UK and in Russia, “Midsomer Murders” (“Purely English Murders”), which has not left television screens for twenty seasons, is filmed. “Where There Is No Place for Evil” is a new novel in the series of detective stories about Inspector Barnaby. Anne Lawrence, a wealthy but timid woman, has a dangerous secret from which some people are thinking of making big money. And this secret casts an ominous shadow over the entire serene existence of the village of Fern Basset, where, it would seem, enmity and hatred cannot settle. The imperturbable senior inspector and his constant assistant Sergeant Troy undertake to unravel the tangle of strange events. Until the very last page the reader will have to be lost in conjectures and assumptions.
