Inspector Hemingway Mystery

Georgette Heyer

At an English country house, the sudden death of a wealthy and domineering host brings a tangled circle of family members, friends, and guests under suspicion. As a shrewd investigator probes their conflicting stories, long-held resentments, concealed motives, and social rivalries begin to surface. Combining a classic closed-circle mystery with sparkling dialogue, dry wit, and sharply observed manners, the novel offers an elegant and entertaining puzzle about appearances, privilege, and the dangers of keeping secrets.
