Let me point out another Georgette Heyer mystery that is, I think, very much worth your time: her 1941 book, "Envious Casca." It's not only a fine and ingenious locked room puzzle, it's also a wonderfully, laugh-out-loud funny book. I reviewed it here last Fall, pointing out that what appear at first glance to be stereotypical English-country-house-mystery characters are anything but stereotypical. The reader is in for some rude shocks along the way, coupled with a pretty good number of laughs. It's also available in an Amazon Kindle edition
. A fun read.
