HTML:<b>A suspicious inheritance comes to the rescue of a cash-strapped aristocratic family: "Entertaining and devious . . . Plenty of red herrings." —<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b><br /> The upper-crust Lamprey family exemplifies charm, wit, and a chronic lack of funds. Their only source of hope is the wealthy but unpleasant Lord Wutherwood, and the Lampreys may perhaps be forgiven for doing a little jig when his Lordship is killed and the resulting inheritance saves their bacon.

But he would like to figure out whether they murdered their benefactor . . .<br /> <i>Also published under the title</i> Death of a Peer<br /> "It's time to start comparing Christie to Marsh instead of the other way around." —<i>New York Magazine</i><br /> "A mystery novelist of world renown." —<i>The New York Times</i>.
