Here Comes a Chopper is a 1946

country house mystery
involving a man who goes missing only to turn up as a headless corpse.

In a review in the New Statesman, Ralph Partridge observed "Miss Gladys Mitchell’s style of surrealist detection is too fundamentally established to be criticised. In a misguided way she has a touch of genius."
