Net a Double Murder,

This review is from: They Found Him Dead (Paperback)
"They Found Him Dead" by Georgette Heyer is as close as Ms. Heyer gets to a series with the inclusion of Superindent Hannasyde and Sargent Hemingway in their third baffling case. Everyone is trying to help them solve the case as the heirs to a fortune are being assassinated.
Bright new characters command the stage with the star being Timothy Harte, a brash young man in love with American crime films, who tries his hand at learning to be a detective until he may be the next victim. It seems a shame this clever story was missed during the film noir period, it has all the perfect elements. An intriguing read with plenty of laughs. Nash Black, author of "Qualifying Laps" and "Sins of the Fathers."

A pretty good tale,
By Aristocats (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: They Found Him Dead (Paperback)
This is a typical English manor house murder mystery. I had expected more originality from Heyer since I am a big fan of hers and have read many of her novels. However, in spite of that, I couldn't put it down. As usual, her characters are very well drawn. I definitely recommend this book, but most of her other mysteries are better.
