Behold, Here's Poison by Georgette Heyer

3.0

A decent enough murder mystery, but the focus was mostly on the family and not the detective. I tend to prefer mysteries where the detective is more of a personality; here, Hannasyde hardly makes any impression at all. The other characters are all pretty obnoxious. Although this was written in the same time as it is set, And had little domestic details that I doubt a modern writer would remember, I kept feeling like it was written more recently. As an aside, the cover for this edition is completely misleading and has nothing to do with anything in the actual story.
