Why Shoot a Butler?




Second to none in her ability to make detective stories, Georgette Heyer is queen of the genre

.

'Thoroughly entertaining' Historical Novels Review

It is a complete mystery why anyone would choose to murder the trusted old butler of Norton Manor.

Barrister turned amateur detective, Frank Amberley, has reason to suspect that the shooting involves the nervy young lady discovered at the scene of the crime, a snooping gentleman in the halls of Greythorne and then a second dead body.

A dramatic tale of upstairs, downstairs and family secrets.

-------

'A fun, entertaining, suspenseful, well-mannered, classic murder mystery with all the hijinks that makes the genre so beloved!'

'Better than Agatha Christie'
'A thoroughly enjoyable read!'

'A well crafted mystery with nicely drawn characters'


'Highly recommended!'
