Omschrijving
A wonderfully comedic novel full of sharp insight, sly wit - and a smidgeon of murder. Perfect for fans of PG Wodehouse, Julian Fellowes and Agatha Christie.
Fans of PG Wodehouse and Agatha Christie should bag this madcap comedy whodunnit . . . Outrageous and over-the-top, a perfect antidote to all real-life craziness going on
It's sharp, funny and just the right amount of farcical - the best sort of murder mystery
I couldn't put it down
What a triumph! It gave me enormous pleasure to read, plus of course a few appropriate shudders. [In the Crypt] lightens the darkness in a way that is both dark and light
An irresistible champagne bubble of pleasure and laughter
Agatha Christie but with a bit of Julian Fellowes's Snobs and Downtown Abbey thrown in . . . A masterclass in how to write a rollicking good read
A jolly farce that never takes itself too seriously
Fizzles, crackles and sparkles
An irresistible, high-camp crime caper - deliciously entertaining
A perfect antidote to wintry gloom
An effervescent madcap whodunnit
A country-house murder mystery with nods to Agatha Christie and Evelyn Waugh. From the deceased's name (Sir Ecgbert Tode of Tode Hall) to the art deco cover, it's a delightful treat
This is a marvellous rollicking read with brilliantly drawn characters. I finished it within 24 hours
She's spot on; she's skewered her targets brilliantly
One imagines that Waugh had nearly as much fun writing it as we do reading it
This whodunnit, set in a twisted version of PG Wodehouse's terrain, is deeply funny
Daisy Waugh writes novels, reads tarot cards and teaches yoga. Unlike Sir Ecgbert Tode, she cannot do the standing splits. She lives in London. To find out more, visit her website at: daisywaugh.com.

A work of sublime silliness. The knife-edge between crime and comedy is a tricky one, but Daisy Waugh negotiates it magnificently. The story is preposterous, as it should be in a book of this kind, and the author is clearly less interested in the finer points of crime plotting than she is in sharp observations and social satire. The result is a delightful book, witty, pacy and beautifully written.
