One of Heyer's earlier mystery forays. Set in the very early 1930's in the classic English country house setting, with the various characters assembled for a weekend house party (what a life they must have had then!) centering around the irascible "lord of the manor," who conveniently for many is soon found dead - a variation on the locked room situation. Heyer had great characters in this one, that requisite touch of romance, witty dialog, and I must admit, I was completely taken in by the ending - and I was sure, positive, etc. that I KNEW "whodunnit!"
Highly recommended!
