"An entertaining locked-room mystery with an ingenious murder
device that will appeal to fans Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot
and other Golden Age crime"-- "Library Journal"
"Readers are presented with not only a whodunit but also a
howdunit. Some delightfully old-fashioned slang enlivens the
dialogue. Fans of traditional country house mysteries will be
gratified"-- "Publishers Weekly"
"Well realized characters and a beautifully evoked setting will
keep readers engaged"-- "Booklist"
