Entertaining, and a good mystery. Inspector Sloan and Crosby were a great duo. This had a more humorous tone, and there were definitely moments I grinned or snickered.

Inspector Sloan is called out to one of the Stately Homes when one of the locals touring the house discovers a body in one of the suits of armor. The Earl and his family are under for the crime and inspector Sloan must tread lightly for fear of causing some kind of national incident.
These are good stories. This one I got from the library and it was so moldy smelling that it made my allergies go nuts. Think I might hold off on reading another they are good but I have so many other things that I want to read.

I always enjoy a cosy mystery and this one wasn't any different. I enjoyed having to guess right till the end who did it.
And I loved the setting.

Pretty good "cozy" type mystery but so many characters that I got utterly confused. Also, a map of the vast stately home might have been nice -- I was as lost as the policemen.

It is the early 1970s, and times are tough in the upper reaches of British society. To survive the changing times, the Earl of Ornum has done the previously unthinkable and opened his estate to wandering tourists. One day, a hyperactive little boy and his family are roaming Ornum House delightedly. The curious tyke sees a full suit of armor and lifts the visor . . . only to see a face staring out at him.
