We do love a man in a uniform, but the 'Constables' in question are not policemen but paintings ' the landscapes, specifically, of the 19th-century painter John Constable. Agatha Troy (the artist wife, you'll remember, of Inspector Alleyn) has a special fondness for Constable's work, so she jumps at the chance to take a river-cruise through 'Constable Country' in the east of England. Her enthusiasm dims a little when it becomes clear that the ticket became available at the last minute only because a previous passenger was murdered in his cabin - and murdered, it seems, by a notorious international criminal known as the 'Jampot.' (How we long for the days when notorious international criminals had really cute names.)
