Bellingham Bay was originally planned as an "Eden on the Kentish Coast". But when financial mismanagement intervened, the newly-erected complex of cheap bungalows was snapped up by Mackay Saunders, a businessman who specialises in providing affordable getaways for couples looking for "something for the week-end". No wonder the place is known informally as "Immorality Corner".
The Bay comes to the attention of the Reverend Ebenezer Buckle when Mrs. Weatherby-Weatherby Elkin approaches him to insist that he do something to safeguard the moral health of the parish, which she feels must surely deteriorate if this den of vice is allowed to remain on their doorstep.

Originally published in 1933 this is a traditional British murder mystery from the golden age of detection.
