Corpse in a Gilded Cage by Robert Barnard

Corpse in a Gilded Cage by Robert Barnard

A man's home is his castle, but for Percy Spender that motto has been taken just a bit too literally. After the sudden death of first one distant relative and then another, the amiable Perce has become the 12th Earl of Ellesmere. And his home, no longer a cozy council flat, is now the drafty, imposing Chetton Hall, complete with more bedrooms than Perce can count and an army of servants. Frankly, all these fancy-pants trappings make Perce itch. He'd just as soon sell up, buy a comfy cottage, and put a bundle on the ponies. However, some of his mates and family members have other ideas. And the sad fact is that an Unfortunate Accident can happen to anyone, even a lord of the realm.

Barnard, Robert: - Robert Barnard is the award-winning author of dozens of mystery novels, many of them very funny. Barnard was a passionate fan of the performing arts, opera in particular, and his knowledge of the field, both the music and the people involved in presenting it, infuses a number of his books set in that world, such as Death and the Chaste Apprentice and Death on the High C's. Because his funny books were so gorgeously funny, Barnard has often been thought of as a specialist in wit. But the few serious mysteries he wrote, such as Out of the Blackout, are at least the equal of the funny ones.
