DescriptionSir Ecgbert Tode of Tode Hall has survived to a grand old age - much to the despair of his younger wife, Emma. But at ninety-three years old he has, at last, shuffled off the mortal coil. Not long after the new owners take over, Lady Tode is found dead in the mausoleum. Accident? Or is there more going on behind the scenes of Tode Hall than an outsider would ever guess....? In the traditions of two great but very different British writers, Agatha Christie and P.G. Wodehouse, Waugh's hilarious and entirely original twist on the country house murder mystery comes complete with stiff upper lips, even stiffer drinks, and any stiffs that might embarrass the family getting smartly brushed under the carpet... Praise for Daisy Waugh 'Unputdownable' DAILY MAIL 'Dazzlingly evoked' SUNDAY TIMES 'A lubricious new novel . . . period charm and sexual intrigue' TATLER 'Gripping . . . powerful, evocative' THE LADY |
