The Affair of the Bloodstained Egg Cosy

Description

'Don't expect me to solve anything,' Inspector Wilkins announced modestly when he arrived to sort out the unpleasantness. And at a gathering that included English aristocracy, foreign agents in disguise, a ravishing baroness, a daring jewel thief, a Texan millionaire and, of course, the imperturbable butler, it would take some intricate sleuthing to uncover who killed whom and why. For whodunit fans who prefer their villains to be nice, refined people, the sort who quote Shakespeare and knock off their nearest and dearest between rubbers of bridge, The Affair of the Bloodstained Egg Cosy is a delectable treat.
