Pretty fantastic kind of tribute-to-the-classics English country house mystery.
One large, ancient English estate, 5 heirs, one surly writer, and murder let rip.
Fantastic stuff- Christie like twists and such, and at the end, it all really did make sense, which is always such a relief.
Not the kind of psychological portraits that Ruth Rendell or even Martha Grimes get up to, and certainly not the humor of Joan Hess or M.C. Beaton, but an almost straight-up drawing room mystery, which I think in some ways is my favorite kind.
