Good mystery but I could have done without the slight Christian emphasis... this was not as marked as I have come across before but there was enough that I noticed and was a bit annoyed. ( )

In 1930's England Drew Farthering is having a weekend party at his country estate when a body is found in the greenhouse. With the help of his best friend, Nick Dennison, they aim to solve the crime, then more bodies are found. ( )

I found the pacing a bit slow, particularly in the beginning. Some of the dialogue felt a bit unrealistic and out of keeping with the time period in which the story was supposed to be set. There were a few twists at the end, I just wish the author had spent more time developing the mystery and less time with the romance. Georgette Heyer seemed to be able to have her "little romance" without it detracting too much from the mystery. Pity, Ms Deering couldn't pull off the same in this book. The religious stuff was slightly annoying too. The idea of playing with Ronald Knox's rules for detective fiction, was cute. ( )

Fun mystery that was inspired by the rules to writing a good mystery. ( )
