The inimitable Scotland Lawn Superintendent Richard Jury comes back in another "literate, lyrical, funny, cool, discursive, bizarre" (The Washington Post) puzzle, now with a suggestion of the derby to Alfred Hitchcock's famous movie Vertigo. Richard Jury is getting together with Tom Williamson at Vertigo 42, a club on the 42nd floor associated with an workplace in London's financial area. Despite inconclusive data, Tom is convinced his partner, Tess, was murdered 17 years back. The inspector in charge of the truth was sure Tess' death was unintentional - the result of vertigo - but the official authorities inquiry is still an wide open verdict and Jury agrees to re-examine the truth. Jury learns a nine-year-old girl fell to her death five years before Tess at the same country house in Devon where Tess passed away. The girl had been a visitor at a party Tess was presenting for six children. Jury looks for out the five making it through party friends, who are actually adults, expecting they can reveal this bizarre coincidence. In the mean time, an elegantly dressed woman comes to her death from the tower of an cottage nearby the pub where Jury and his cronies are eating one night. Then the dead woman's estranged spouse is killed as well. Four fatalities - two in the past, two that occur on the webpages of this intricate, compelling novel - keep Richard Jury and his sidekick Sergeant Wiggins running from other homes in Islington to the countryside in Devon and London as they make an effort to find out if the fatalities were unintentional or not. And, if they are connected. Witty, well-written, with literary referrals from Thomas Hardy to Yeats, Vertigo 42 is a pitch perfect, "pause-resisting" novel from a puzzle writer near the top of her game.
