Publisher Description
"It's absolutely delightful, and I would recommend it to anyone who's a fan of Sarah Caudwell, or Agatha Christie, or anyone who loves really clever British murder mysteries set in the '20s." - Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl.
On his return from South Africa, Charles Knox is invited to spend the weekend at the country home of Sir Neville Strickland, whose beautiful wife Rosamund was once Knox's fiancée. But in the dead of night Sir Neville is murdered. Who did it? As suspicion falls on each of the house guests in turn, Knox finds himself faced with deception and betrayal on all sides, and only the enigmatic Angela Marchmont seems to offer a solution to the mystery. This 1920s whodunit will delight all fans of traditional country house murder stories.
Customer Reviews
Nothing special
A collection of unremarkable, and largely unlikable toffs, attend a weekend country house party. There’s a murder, the killer is obvious.
Angela Marchmont, whose name appears in the title of this series, features at the end of the book the the Agatha Christie-style summation. Listen if you must but don’t say you weren’t warned.
