Nice to come across this type of murder mystery spersed with a dose of good ole real life and humour… kind of like Agatha chrstie meets P.G. Wodehouse?
A great read, revolving mostly around the character of Melrose plant, a noble masquerading as a commoner, and the mystery surrounding the deaths in the family whose house he is currently renting by the seaside. The kids were found drowned 4 years ago, with no signs of a struggle. Melrose finds himself drawn to the local villagefolk, and in the process, into the current day mysteries surrounding a murder and a disappearance.
Of course, Melrose alone is not the hero. We follow his friends macalvie, and richard jury, of the police, as together they find out how the current murders are related to the drowning of the kids 4 years ago, horrifically. It draws you into the village folks daily lives and happenings while solving the murders.
