A Scene of the Crime Mystery.
From Publisher's Weekly:
You can count on a Barnard mystery being witty, intelligent, and a joy to read. We are kept guessing right up to the properly sardonic conclusion.

Robert Barnard writes wonderful mysteries, and this is one of his most enjoyable!

Not so much a murder mystery as a discourse on British mores and attitudes and class snobbery. The narrator (and author) is witty and sly and that makes this an enjoyable romp. It helps to have read the previous book since Perry's family and its quirks are touched on briefly. And also helps if you are interested in how the royal family might actually deal with junior members (in the 1970's at least.)

A Perry Trethowan mystery. Superintet. Trethowan is assigned to protect Princess Helena, a distant royal, who dips into social entertainments both unwise and potentially deadly.
