Imagine Remains of the Day rewritten by an Agatha Christie with a nasty sense of humor, and you"ll get some idea of why Dorothy Cannell"s new mystery is such great fun. When Sir Henry Gossinger announces that he intends to leave his stately home to the man who has been his butler for 50 years, all sorts of upper-class stuff begins to hit a variety of fans. The elderly butler is drowned in a toilet, his sharp-witted granddaughter is exiled to London, and greed is only one of the seven deadly sins that go for a romp over the glorious grounds. Cannell displays a similar combination of talents in Femmes Fatal and especially How to Murder the Man of Your Dreams, both available in paperback.
