Behold, Here's Poison by Georgette Heyer
4.0
I enjoyed this instalment in the series far more than the first. The whodunnit was cleverly disguised - so much so I did not suspect them in the slightest!
The Matthews family was entirely dysfunctional - a collection of melodramatic, eccentric, and highly amusing individuals - Heyer’s characterisation is excellent. I did not find Inspector Hannasyde to be in the league of Poirot or Holmes - far from being a super sleuth he was much more uncertain, but the realism was a nice change. I cannot wait to read more of the series.
