Death in the Stocks by Georgette Heyer

2.5

This was fun and enjoyable but not as good as Footsteps in the Dark. This is mostly a bunch of people sitting around discussing how they could have done the murder and not caring about the person who's dead. It's obviously meant to be silly, and it is done quite well, but it does get a bit tedious at times. I guessed the killer but only a few chapters before this is revealed. 
I enjoyed all the 1930s details of their lives and as usual, was highly amused at people who say they have no money but can still afford to have a servant! Hah. This is a common theme in 1930s detective novels. 
I'm still planning to read more of her books, but this was nowhere near as good as the last one.
