A Blunt Instrument
Inspector Hemingway Mystery · Book 4Description
When a wealthy country gentleman is found murdered with a blunt instrument, suspicion falls swiftly—and not always rationally—on those closest to him. As an investigation unfolds among an uneasy circle of relatives, friends, and eccentric acquaintances, clever observation proves as important as conventional police work. Blending a classic English country-house mystery with sparkling wit, social satire, and sharply drawn character portraits, the novel offers both an ingenious puzzle and an entertaining portrait of a bygone world. Its polished, lightly comic style showcases the versatility that made its author renowned beyond her celebrated historical romances.
