The Skeleton in the Grass
Author: Robert Barnard
The year is 1936, and the clouds of war are gathering over Europe. But life in a small English village is peaceful and charming, especially to Sarah Causeley, the new governess at Hallam House. Then someone wages a hate campaign against the Hallams and a killer leaves more than croquet mallets on the lawn.

Class British mystery.

Robert Barnard is a contemporary writer, but this story about nasty pranks and murder in the "peaceful" English countryside is set in 1936 just prior to WWII. Robert Barnard is the undisputed King of the humorous mystery and despite the way it sounds this one is no exception.
