Clubbed to Death
Amiss finds himself in a bizarre caricature of a club, run by and for debauched geriatrics, with skeletons rattling in every cupboard. Why are there so few members? How are they financed? Will Amiss keep his job despite the enmity of the ferocious, snuff-covered Colonel Fagg? More importantly, will he solve the crime before someone else dies?
Historian and prize-winning biographer Ruth Dudley Edwards gleefully takes on the British establishment in her satirical crime novels. Her targets include the civil service, gentlement’s clubs, Cambridge colleges, the House of Lords, the Church of England, publishing, literary prizes and – always – political correctness.
Published in the UK by HarperCollins.
Available on kindle, paperback and hardback on Amazon.
Reviews
Praise for Clubbed to Death:
Edwards’ accurate portraits of people and mores in English men’s clubs, coupled with her deliciously dry sense of humor, make for a procedural… that is long on entertainment.
Choice prose, cutting wit, and memorable characters distinguish this traditional British mystery.
