Featured review
The Rod of Asclepius
Lady Felicia's and Mrs McCarthy end up in the cottage hospital thanks to Lady Felicia's reckless driving. Lady Felicia is shamed by the eminent doctor in the hospital Sir Malcolm Braithwaite to stick with the new fangled NHS and not go to her private surgeon in Harley Street.
However Mrs Garrity in the bed opposite dies during a routine operation. A nurse suspects foul play and Inspector Mallory reluctantly investigates because he wants to join the local golf club and Sir Malcolm Braithwaite is the chairman of the club.
One of the womanising doctor is the main suspect but Father Brown thinks that the deceased and the murderer once might had met innocently some years ago.
It was a hoot to see Lady Felicia all bandaged up, the mystery was not that interesting but it was nice to see Mallory attempt to social climb by trying to stay on the surgeon's good books.
