Another Peculiar Crimes unit Bryant and May; this one set in the late 1960s and an old country manor, banging up against the swinging 60s. Fun as always.

Mr. Fowler turns the conventions of the genre on their heads; this time the genteel country house weekend and the various motives of greedy house guests intent on currying favor with a rich, reclusive businessman. Run through with humor, the mystery takes a bit of a back seat in comparison to character development and description (which is more the norm than not with regard to the series) which I think is a fair warning for readers who may be looking for a more procedurally- minded detective series. A strong recommend, especially as an entry point into the Bryant and May world.
I received an ecopy from the publishers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I'm a fan of Bryant & May books and this one met all my expectations. It's a very good book full of humour and funny and entertaining characters.
It was really interesting to read about their youth and the description of the historical time was both entertaining and interesting.
The plot was great and funny, sometimes made me laugh loud.
It's strongly recommended.
Many thanks to Random House and Netgalley
