Sudha Raghavan 5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most riveting mystery novelsLike other reviewers have said, it is Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle etc rolled into this novel. The Russian Revolution throws in an added twist. Cathy Holmes 5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful main character, dry humor, and detailed historical settings Did I say humorous? I hope this is the first of many. Cheryl Leaf 5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!One of the best books I have read in a long time. The writing is witty and laugh out loud funny. Major Lennox is part genius and part goofball. Kindle Reader Ann 5.0 out of 5 stars Menuhin is close to genius.Although I buy way too many Kindle books, and generally enjoy them greatly, I am far too slothful to write reviews. However, I simply had to make an exception for MURDER AT MELROSE COURT. A brilliant work! Witty, sardonic, sweet, clever. Wonderful plot, superb characters, very very clever, hilarious and touching at the same time. This work compares well with the British classics of the golden age. I hope that the author will continue to delight us with many more Lennox mysteries of this exceptional caliber. Rick Wilson 4.0 out of 5 stars Well-structured, very period correct, with cleverly drawn characters.Mrs. Menuhin has produced a thoroughly enjoyable, clever, highly engaging story. Peopled with both likable and despicable characters.
