Daisy Waugh - In the Crypt with a Candlestick

Best known for her engaging series of Tarot Card crime yarns, with the inherited wit of her grandfather Evelyn Waugh, novelist Daisy Waugh presents a new and original twist on the ever popular country house murder mystery. Combining the traditions of two great but very different British writers, Agatha Christie and P.G. Wodehouse, her hilarious take on this most English of genres comes complete with a dazzling cast of stiff upper lips, a cabinet of even stiffer drinks, enough family skeletons to fill the largest closet and the corpse of the late and unlamented Lady Tode in the mausoleum.
