Behold, Here's Poison by Georgette Heyer

4.0

I am a fan of Heyer's regency novels, but I think they are an acquired taste. I didn't care much for them until I'd read a second and then a third--and I probably wouldn't have kept reading them if it hadn't been for the persistent prodding of many friends who adore her. I'm now a convert, and I've read nearly all of her romance novels. This is the first Heyer mystery I've read, though. Gregory Matthews, a wealthy and mean-spirited head of an almost as unlikable family, is found dead in his bed. When it turns out to be poison, pretty much everyone in the house has a motive. There is a romance side-story, which--after reading all those Heyer romances--I predicted within the first 30 pages, but the solution to the mystery caught me completely by surprise. Kept me thoroughly occupied on a day of plane travel, and sometimes that's all I ask.
