Death and the Princess (Perry Trethowan, Bk 2)

Not so much a murder mystery as a discourse on British mores and attitudes and class snobbery. The narrator (and author) is witty and sly and that makes this an enjoyable romp. It helps to have read the previous book since Perry's family and its quirks are touched on briefly. And also helps if you are interested in how the royal family might actually deal with junior members (in the 1970's at least.)
