Corpse In A Gilded Cage by Robert Barnard
4.0
This is a nice, solid British mystery, set in a Stately Home but with an unusual cast of characters for one of those (odd things happen when distant relatives inherit). It's full of the kind of dry wit that's perhaps not to everyone's taste (but definitely to mine), and also of the kind of sometimes-bitter class conflict that you don't really get in American mysteries (because Americans don't believe that class exists).
I was sorry to learn, upon looking up the author, that he passed away just last month. But I also learned that he left behind something like 100 other books to read, and that's a fine way for a reader to honor an author, isn't it?
