Death of a Mystery Writer: A Murder Mystery (Of Course) (Scribner Crime Classics)
Publishers WeeklyBarnard's positively ducky satire of the British whodunit will be lauded here as it has been in England. The author mixes humor and suspense cunningly, beginning with the character of Sir Oliver Fairleigh-Stubbs, wealthy writer of trashy whodunits...Sir Oliver delights in abusing practically everyone. So it's no real surprise when he falls dead...The story ends with a real bang. --Review
