Description
During a country-house weekend, the members of a deeply dysfunctional family gather under the domineering rule of a thoroughly detestable patriarch. When tensions erupt and a shocking crime disturbs the household, suspicion falls across a colorful cast of relatives, guests, and servants, each with motives to conceal. Blending a carefully constructed mystery with sharp social observation and understated humor, the novel explores family resentment, class manners, and the secrets hidden beneath outward respectability. Its lively characterization and elegant wit showcase the distinctive appeal of this classic mystery.
