Publisher's Summary

Welcome to Alderley, a magnificent mansion in the heart of the West Country where a grand house party is taking place. The preparations have been made, the guests have been invited, and the staff are on hand. What could possibly go wrong? Let the entertainment begin.

The theft of the diamond necklace and the antique pistols might all be explained, but the body in the lake - that really was a puzzle. 'Don't expect me to solve anything,' Inspector Wilkens 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 Texas millionaire and, of course, the imperturbable butler, it was going to take some intricate sleuthing to uncover who killed whom and why.

PERFECT antidote to angst and manufactured drama

The combination of our COVID-19 pandemic and the angst and/or manufactured (usually romantic or family) drama contained within most mystery books has overwhelmed me. I keep picking “cozy” (/“cosy”) mysteries, especially “Golden Age of Detective Fiction” (between WWI and WWII, and usually in the UK) ones, to relax me. They don’t, because I keep encountering really stressful situations in them, apparently to provide drama so people read the books. Ugh.
Then I gave this book, “The Affair Of The Bloodstained Egg Cosy”, a try. WOOOO!!!!! IT’S AWESOME!!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊😊😊 There’s neither angst nor romantic (or family) drama to wrench the reader’s guts out :-) :-) :-) Saying almost anything more would require spoilers, so I’ll just say that the book is fun, too :-) :-) :-)
