The Unfinished Clue [Paperback]

<p><strong>A houseful of people he loathes is not Sir Arthur's worst problem...</strong></p><p>It should have been a lovely English country-house weekend. But the unfortunate guest list is enough to exasperate a saint, and the host, Sir Arthur Billingham-Smith, is an abusive wretch hated by everyone from his disinherited son to his wife's stoic would-be lover. When Sir Arthur is found stabbed to death, no one is particularly grieved—and no one has an alibi. The unhappy guests find themselves under the scrutiny of Scotland Yard's cool-headed Inspector Harding, who has solved tough cases before. But this time, the talented young inspector discovers much more than he's bargained for. </p><p>"Miss Heyer's characters and dialogue are an abiding delight to me...I have seldom met people to whom I have taken so violent a fancy from the word 'Go.'" —Dorothy L. Sayers </p><p>"Heyer is an author to read—this means you!" —<em>New York Herald Tribune</em></p><p>"Miss Heyer has the delightful talent of blending humor with mystery." —<em>Boston Evening Transcript</em><br></p>
